Whitetail reeffish
📖 Overview
Occurs on a variety of deep-reef habitats, including on rocky reef slopes, coral outcroppings, around sponges, boulders, and caves. Usually found around artificial substrates such as shipwrecks (e.g., the wreck Queen of Nassau in southeast Florida), tires, and derelict ropes and fishing gear. Together with Chromis insolata, these two are most common pomacentrids on lower-mesophotic and rariphotic reefs in the Caribbean. While in Brazil, C. insolata is replaced by its southern mesophotic counterpart, C. jubauna which often schools with C. vanbebberae on coastal reefs .
