The Royal Gramma Basslet (Gramma loreto) is a true classic in the saltwater hobby and one of the most recognizable reef fish available. With its vibrant purple front half that fades into bright golden yellow toward the tail, this fish adds an instant pop of color to almost any aquarium.

Native to Caribbean reefs, the Royal Gramma prefers plenty of live rock with caves and crevices where it can claim a small territory. It’s generally peaceful and does very well in community reef tanks, though it may show mild territorial behavior toward similar-shaped fish if space is limited. One of its most charming traits is its tendency to hover upside down under ledges or dart back into its favorite cave when startled.

This species is fully reef safe and won’t bother corals or most invertebrates. The Royal Gramma is hardy, adapts well to captive life, and readily accepts frozen foods like mysis shrimp and brine shrimp, along with high-quality pellets and flakes once acclimated. Its durability and manageable size make it a great choice for both beginner and experienced hobbyists.

Quick Facts:

  • Care Level: Easy
  • Temperament: Peaceful to Semi-Peaceful
  • Maximum Size: ~3 inches
  • Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallons
  • Diet: Carnivore (meaty frozen and prepared foods)
  • Reef Safe: Yes

If you’re looking for a colorful, hardy, and reef-safe fish with loads of personality, the Royal Gramma Basslet is a must-have addition to any saltwater aquarium.

Unbelievable colors on this guy!

"Unbelievable colors on this guy! This fish almost seems to glow and is easily the prettiest fish in the aquarium! He is no more than an inch long and spends most of the time hiding, but when he comes out, it sure is a treat."

— Reece (5/5)

This little guy stayed hidden

"This little guy stayed hidden for about two days after he was added to the tank. I thought he might have died under the rocks. Two days later he came out and has been active, eating well and exploring. The colors are very vibrant and he's great with his tank mates. Peaceful and non aggressive so far."
