Description
The Glassy Sweeper is a schooling marine fish characterized by its large eyes and translucent, often reddish-brown body. They are nocturnal feeders, typically hiding in caves and crevices during the day and emerging at night to consume zooplankton. These peaceful fish thrive in groups within a well-established saltwater aquarium.
