A small, oval-bodied fish with a long and deeply forked tail that grows to about 15 cm (6 in). This species is a brilliant blue colour with black along the back and on the outer edges of the tail, although it can pale or darken at will. Sexes appear similar and juveniles resemble adults
Longevity: Unknown, but up to 15 years based on the longevity of close relatives
Very common throughout the Caribbean, somewhat less common in the northern Gulf of Mexico and Florida. Blue chromis prefer steep reef slopes or patch reefs in areas with many holes and crevices where they can hide at night
