Description: A peaceful and active marine fish featuring a beautiful iridescent blue-green body that shimmers under aquarium lighting.

Compatibility: Generally peaceful and suitable for reef and community marine aquariums. Compatible with clownfish, gobies, blennies, peaceful wrasses and other non-aggressive marine species. Can be kept individually or in groups, although aggression and bullying may develop within smaller groups, particularly in confined aquariums. Avoid housing with large predatory or highly aggressive fish.
