Royal gramma, also known as the fairy basslet, is a species of basslet native
to reef environments of the tropical western Atlantic
Ocean . The binomial name of Royal gramma is Gramma loreto.They are
also found in the aquarium trade. The fish brings an explosion of color to any
saltwater aquarium. It has a bright purple to violet colored anterior
contrasted by a vibrant yellow posterior. Coveted for both its unique color
pattern and relatively small adult size, Gramma loreto is well suited for small
nano reef systems.

crustacean flesh, mysis shrimp, and quality frozen preparations. For the best
care, keep the Royal Gramma Basslet in reef systems of at least 30 gallons.
