Blue/Green Black-axil Chromis

Special requirements

• Axil Blotch Development

  Juveniles lack the black pectoral fin blotch, making them difficult to distinguish from Chromis viridis until they begin to mature.

• High-Frequency Feeding

  Requires feeding several times throughout the day with a varied diet of meaty and herbivore preparations to maintain health.

• Social Schooling

  Does best in small schools within well-established reef systems, as they naturally school in large shoals in the wild.

• Nesting Color Change

  Mature males change their body color to a muted yellow when they are ready to nest and spawn.
