Description
The Brown Chromis is a hardy and attractive damselfish known for its brownish-grey body, a black spot at the pectoral fin base, and distinctive yellow highlights on its dorsal fin and caudal fin tips. They are schooling fish in the wild and thrive in groups in a home aquarium, adding movement and color to a reef or fish-only tank.
