Pomacentrus lepidogenys
Scaly Damsel
©Anne Hoggett: Pomacentrus lepidogenys at Cod Hole, Ribbon Reef Number 10. This individual was formerly misidentified as Chrysiptera glauca. In August 2023, iNaturalist contributors suggested the current id and noted that the anal fin ray count (14) is too high for Chrysiptera.
