Description
Guenther's Sweeper is a small, schooling marine fish characterized by its translucent body and large eyes, which are adapted for its nocturnal feeding habits. They are typically found sheltering in caves or under ledges during the day and emerge at night to feed on zooplankton. These peaceful fish thrive in a well-established reef aquarium with plenty of hiding spots.
