Family: Pomacentridae
Group: Bony fish

Size: 11-25 cm.

 

The blue chromis forms schools outside the boundaries of the coral reef. There it catches zooplankton, particularly copepods. It is a shy fish that hides whenever disturbed. Like in all the other species from this family, it is the male, which keeps the eggs until they hatch.
