Paletail chromis

The Paletail chromis (Chromis xanthura) is a species of fish known for its distinctive pale tail and predominantly dark body, which contrasts with its lighter, often yellowish tail and dorsal fin. Originating from the Pacific Ocean, this species features a sleek, streamlined body typical of the Chromis genus. Despite its striking appearance, the Paletail chromis is not among the most popular species in the aquarium hobby, likely due to the general prevalence of other more brightly colored or uniquely patterned species in the trade.
