The Canary damsel (Similiparma lurida), or Cape Verde gregory (which is also a common name of Stegastes imbricatus) is a species of marine fish of the family Pomacentridae. It lives primary in shallow, subtropical waters of the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Canary damsels have large eyes, and is primarily black to brownish black, with lighter colors on the ventral part of the body and blue fin margins. Juveniles may have lateral stripes on their bodies as well. During their mating season, adults exhibit sexual dimorphism. Individuals may grow to 15 cm in length. Canary damsels are commonly associated with rocky inshore areas of the eastern Atlantic Ocean; specifically, they are found in the waters of Macaronesia (Madeira, Azores, Savage Islands, Canary Islands, Cape Verde) and Senegal at depths to about 25 metres (82 ft). Juveniles may be found in tide pools.
