Description
The Princess Parrotfish (Small) is a colorful addition to any marine aquarium, showcasing shades of green with subtle yellow and blue accents. A prominent blue stripe runs across its face, adding to its unique appearance. This fish is generally peaceful and thrives on a diet of algae, which helps maintain its vivid colors. While it may not be entirely reef-safe, it poses minimal risk to coral if adequately fed. It requires ample swimming space and live rock for grazing, making it a suitable choice for small to medium-sized saltwater tanks with stable parameters.
