Pale blue/green with no markings; distinct forked tail. Commercial level captive-breeding is possible. Trade incentives to do so are hindered by a number of market factors favoring wild-caught. Despite the likelihood that many are captured with cyanide, Blue-Green Chromis are the #1 marine aquarium fish imported into the U.S.
