Blue Fin Chromis Turning Black! Why?
Ok. I bought 4 blue fin chromis for my reef. After about 2 weeks, one of them turned completly black. Now, two more are starting to turn black. Does anyone know why? They are very healthy and eating, swimming, etc.
Before: After: Thanks! Dennis |

That's what they look like as adults. FWIW, I have never heard them called chromis, they are damsels. The Blue fin damsel is also known as the "black" damsel, because they turn black.

Actually, even the scientific name (Neoglyphidodon "melas") means black. Sometimes you can look at the meanings of names to find these things out.
