Description
The Princess Parrotfish (Medium) exhibits a captivating blend of blue, green, and pink hues, with vibrant blue lines running along its face and body. This species is an herbivore, consuming mainly algae, which supports its brilliant coloration. While peaceful, this fish may not be entirely reef-safe as it occasionally feeds on coral polyps. The Princess Parrotfish needs a spacious tank with plenty of live rock to graze on and ample swimming space, making it suitable for medium to large aquariums with stable water parameters.
