Description
The Bermuda Chub is a large, schooling marine fish known for its silvery body and robust build. Primarily herbivorous, it grazes on algae and seagrasses, but will also consume small invertebrates. Due to its significant adult size and schooling behavior, it requires a very large aquarium and is best suited for advanced aquarists.
