Black and Gold Chromis
Black and Gold Chromis: The Transforming & Hardy Damsel The Black and Gold Chromis (Neoglyphidodon nigroris), often called the Yellowtail Damselfish, is a well-known and hardy species that adds a touch of bold, black-and-yellow contrast to any marine aquarium. As a juvenile, this damselfish is easily identified by its striking black or dark body with prominent white blotches. It is important to note that as this fish matures, it loses its white patches and becomes a solid dark brown or black, while also becoming aggressive and territorial. For this reason, it is best suited for an aquarium with more assertive or larger tank mates. It is completely reef-safe and will not harm corals or invertebrates.

Striking Juvenile Coloration: Its simple yet bold black and yellow pattern makes it stand out. Completely Reef-Sa
