Description
The Triplespot Chromis is a hardy and attractive saltwater fish known for its bluish-grey body and three distinct white spots: one at the base of the dorsal fin, one at the base of the anal fin, and one on the caudal peduncle. They are generally peaceful and thrive in established reef aquariums, often schooling in groups.
