Description
The Bumphead Damselfish, or Weber's Chromis, is a hardy and attractive damselfish from the Indo-Pacific, known for its dark coloration and often a slight bump on its head as it matures. It is generally peaceful when kept in a group in a sufficiently large, mature saltwater aquarium. They are omnivores, feeding on zooplankton and algae.
