Chromis viridis

Description

The Chromis viridis, commonly known as the blue-green chromis or green chromis, is a small, iridescent damselfish with a bright blue-green or apple-green coloration. They are known for their shimmering, almost iridescent appearance that changes based on light. Males may turn yellow to orange during spawning. They are found in the Indo-Pacific region, inhabiting coral reefs and lagoons. 

Key characteristics:

  • Size: Typically reach a maximum length of 4 inches, but most stay around 3 inches. 

  • Color: Shimmery, iridescent blue-green or apple-green. 

  • Spawning coloration: Males may turn yellow to orange during mating season, sometimes with black coloration. 

  • Habitat: Coral reefs and lagoons, typically in the shallows. 

  • Social behavior: Form large schools, often above branching Acropora corals. 

  • Aquarium suitability: Popular and easy to care for in saltwater aquariums. 

  • Diet: Plankton feeders; readily accept a variety of foods, including flake food, frozen, and live foods. 

  • Territoriality: Can be territorial, especially during mating, and may nip at other fish if crowded. 

  • Natural habitat: Found throughout the Indo-Pacific region, from the African coast to the Pitcairn Islands.
