Description
The Three-spot Chromis is a hardy saltwater fish characterized by its dark body and three prominent white spots, typically located on the caudal peduncle and pectoral fin base. These peaceful planktivores are well-suited for established reef or fish-only aquariums. They are known for their active swimming and can be kept individually or in small groups in larger tanks.
