About White Calvus

Altolamprologus calvus 'White' is a laterally compressed, shell-and-crevice ambush predator showing a striking pale, pearlescent base colour. Like its relative A. compressiceps, it spends most of its time tucked into a shell or tight rock crevice, emerging to hunt — give it that kind of structure and it settles in well.
