Barrier Reef Chromis

The Barrier Reef Chromis is a sophisticated alternative to its blue-green cousins, featuring a sleek silver-to-gold body with a bold, dark brown horizontal stripe that runs from the eye to the tail. The dorsal area often has a yellowish tint, and the tail is deeply forked. As the name suggests, they are a hallmark of the Great Barrier Reef. They are a peaceful, shoaling species that prefers to hang out in the current, catching food as it passes by. They are slightly more refined in appearance and tend to be very hardy once acclimated, adding a professional "wild reef" look to any Australian biotope.
