About Chromis alpha Randall, 1988
Chromis alpha, commonly known as the yellow-speckled chromis, is a diurnal species of damselfish in the genus Chromis. This species occurs in the Indo-Pacific region, ranging from Christmas Island east to the Society Islands, north to the Mariana Islands, south to New Caledonia, and across Micronesia. It lives in clear lagoons and on seaward reefs, where it is found either alone or in loose groups close to caves or ledges. It is most commonly encountered over branching corals and along leeward coasts, and feeds on plankton. The species is oviparous; males of the species guard and aerate the eggs after spawning.
