Notes:
The Blue Reef Chromis is a shimmering, electric-blue damselfish species that brings constant movement and colour to the aquarium. Unlike many damselfish, it is peaceful and well-suited to community reef tanks. In the wild, it forms large shoals above reef crests. In captivity, it is best kept in small groups with open swimming space and stable water conditions.
Why We Like It:
Brilliantly coloured, hardy, and active, the Blue Reef Chromis is an ideal schooling fish for reef aquariums. Its peaceful nature, ease of care, and dazzling blue hues make it a favourite for beginners and experienced reef keepers alike.
