metallicusThe damselfish Neopomacentrus metallicus is a little known damselfish, which will be due to its highly restricted range.
Neopomacentrus metallicus occurs in large groups over outer reef slopes in the South Pacific around Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, where the fish is essentially site-faithful.
Little is known about the perch to date, and the initial description is not documented.
The species name "metallicus" stands for the metallic blue body coloration.
