Description
The Ternate Chromis is a hardy and active saltwater fish, recognized by its bright yellow to greenish-yellow head and anterior body, transitioning to a lighter blue or white towards the tail. They are best kept in schools to thrive and add vibrant movement to a reef or fish-only aquarium. This species primarily feeds on zooplankton but will accept various prepared foods.
