Pycnochromis pacifica, the Pacific chromis, is a distinct Pacific damselfish split from Pycnochromis agilis, identifiable by a large full pectoral fin base black spot.
Pycnochromis pacifica, commonly known as the Pacific chromis, is a species of damselfish that is classified within the genus Pycnochromis. This species is native to the Pacific Ocean. Previously, P. pacifica was grouped under and called Pycnochromis agilis, but it is now recognized as a separate, distinct species. It is set apart from P. agilis by a larger black spot at the base of its pectoral fin that covers the entire fin base.
