About
The Royal Dottyback, also known as the Bicolor Dottyback, is a small, vibrant marine fish known for its striking purple and yellow coloration. They are popular in reef aquariums due to their beauty but can be territorial and aggressive towards similar-sized or shaped fish, especially conspecifics. Provide plenty of rockwork for hiding and establishing territories.
