Ok fish boys what is it
OK here is a pick of a school of chromis that I got for the tank. It was labeled as an Indigo Chromis. Now I have looked high and low and cant seem to find the scientific name for it. So what do u all say. Sorry about the pic, it only took about 30 tries to get the shot, damm fish wont stay still.

Jeff I dont think so bud, the yellowing is completely different then that of the double bar. the bars seem simular, the the fish I have is from the indo area. Also the color of this fish is the blue that is on the cheek. what u think

I'll take a guess at it.....could it be chromis cyaneus? A blue
reef chromis Dr. Burgess page 388, #346.
I wish they were in my tank they look pretty! How many did
you get?

It's not cyaneus, the "indigos" have a very pronounced black hash-mark by the eye.
Woody got in a shipment of the indigos this week marked "Chromis sp." on the invoice.

I would have thought it was Chromis alpha, but the color's a bit wrong and the shape's a little off in the photo. Maybe the owner can look up an image online and compare.
It doesn't ring a bell for me among the " Chromissy" Amblyglyphidodon's and Pomacentrus-es, so I guess it's a Chromis.
Sorry.
