Description
The Twinspot Chromis is a hardy and attractive damselfish, easily recognized by its two prominent white spots located at the base of the dorsal and anal fins. It typically displays a dark body with iridescent blue or green highlights. This species is generally peaceful and can be kept in groups, making it a good addition to a community reef tank.
