Description
The Raja Dottyback is a small, vibrant marine fish characterized by its blue-grey upper body, white belly, and a prominent yellow stripe running along its flank, bordered by a black line. It is a territorial but hardy species, making it a popular choice for reef aquariums. This species requires plenty of rockwork for hiding and establishing territories.
