Saltwater Fish
Royal Gramma.
A pocket showpiece — vivid purple fading to gold across the body. Hardy, reef-safe, and beginner-friendly, though it'll defend a favorite cave. A splash of color for any 30-gallon-plus reef with rockwork to claim.

Good tank mates
The royal gramma is a small, hardy, mostly peaceful reef fish that suits community tanks with clownfish, firefish, gobies, tangs, and similar calm species. It is territorial around its chosen cave or overhang and will flare at intruders, so give it rockwork to claim and avoid housing it with the lookalike royal dottyback or a second gramma in a small tank, as well as large predators that could eat it.
Good to know
Royal grammas often swim oriented to the nearest surface, so they can be seen hanging upside down under ledges and in caves as if the rock were the floor.
Stock and individual temperament vary — call (814) 456-9445 for pairing advice before you buy.
