Chris, We use elastomer tags to ID small damselfish (Stegastes partitus) from 2 to 8 cm TL in size. The tags consist of a small amount of flourescent colored rubberized plastic injected just under the skin.
Try googling Northwest Marine Technologies... look for VIE (Visible Implant Elastomer) tags Aloha ************************************************** Mark A.
