Title
A great Pale Tail Reef Chromis Damsel!
Origin: Eastern Asia

Size info:
Size L: approx. 2.25 - 3.25"

In the reef swims the Pale Tail Chromis,
A fish that is truly quite gorgeous.
Its body is blue,
With a tail that is too,
And it eats plankton without any fuss.

This damsel is quite a sight to see,
With its vivid hues and energy.
It darts around quick,
And can school in a click,
Making it a joy to watch in the sea.

But what's really cool about this fish,
Is how it can change hues at a wish.
It can go from pale,
To bright blue in a tale,
And it's all because of its chromatophores, a wish.

So if you're diving in the ocean,
Look out for this chromis in motion.
You'll be amazed,
By the way it behaves,
And its beauty will set your heart in motion.
