Description
The Norfolk Chromis is a small, active damselfish known for its light blue body and a prominent yellow stripe along its back and dorsal fin. They are typically found in groups around coral reefs, feeding on zooplankton. While generally peaceful, they can exhibit territorial behavior, especially if kept singly or in smaller tanks.
