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.

[2] It lives primary in shallow, subtropical waters of the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

[3] 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[3] at depths to about 25 metres (82 ft).

[3] The Canary damsel is sometimes harvested for use in saltwater aquaria, but this is done on a very small scale.

[1] This, along with a non-fragmented range, no evidence of population decline and the fact that the Canary damsel is found in many marine protected regions, has led the IUCN to classify it as "Least Concern".
