About Black-Bar Chromis
A small, robust damselfish with a bright yellow or olive-green body and distinctive black vertical bars (typically 3–5) running across the sides. The head is often darker than the body, and the fins display a greenish or yellowish tint. This species is easily distinguished from similar chromis by its bold barred pattern and compact body shape.
