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
