Chromis viridis

The Green Chromis is a shimmering, iridescent apple-green schooling fish that brings lively, open-water movement to reef aquariums. Unlike many damsels, it is relatively peaceful when kept in groups of five or more. It is an unfussy feeder that readily accepts frozen brine shrimp, mysis, and quality flake or pellet foods.
