Pycnochromis pacifica, the Pacific chromis, is a species of damselfish belonging to the genus Pycnochromis. It is found in the Pacific Ocean.[1][2]
P. pacifica was formerly referred to as Pycnochromis agilis, but is now recognised as distinct species.[3] P. pacifica is distinguished from P. agilis, as it has a larger black spot at the base of the pectoral fin, covering the entire fin base.
