FBname: Deep blue Chromis
Comments: Adults appear to prefer depths more that 115 m, staying close to the substratum, sand and rubble slope  with boulders and rock outcroppings.  They take refuge in small caves and holes. Juveniles and some subadults were observed around limestone talus.  Adults were usually solitary or in pairs, while subadults and juveniles were seen in small groups.  Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205).  Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205).  Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).  Other <i>Chromis</i> associated with this species include <i>C. brevirostris</i>, <i>C. degruyi</i> and <i>C. earina</i> (Ref. 59379).
