Description
The Princess Parrotfish (XL) brings a stunning display of colors with its large size, boasting a mix of blue, green, and pink hues that are sure to catch the eye. Known for its peaceful nature, it fits well in a large community tank where it can graze on algae, contributing to aquarium maintenance. While generally reef-safe, caution is advised as it may occasionally graze on coral polyps if not adequately fed. This larger size requires a spacious aquarium with ample rockwork for grazing and hiding, ideal for dedicated marine enthusiasts with large tanks.
