Description
The Wide-band Fusilier is a schooling marine fish known for its striking broad yellow stripe running horizontally along its blue-green to silvery body. These active swimmers are zooplanktivores, typically found in large schools over coral reefs and in open water. They require a spacious aquarium to thrive.
