Description
The Red Sea Demoiselle is a small, hardy saltwater fish native to the Red Sea. It features a light grey to brownish body with a striking bright yellow caudal fin. While generally peaceful as juveniles, they can become semi-aggressive and territorial as they mature, especially towards conspecifics or smaller, more docile tankmates.
