The morphology of pelagic juveniles of Plectroglyphidodon johnstonianus (Perciformes, Pomacentridae) is reported on the basis of two specimens collected from the offshore region of Aguni Island, Okinawa, Japan. The juveniles were identified using morphometric and genetic evidence. The juveniles were characterized by their round body, elongated pectoral fin, and melanophore pigmentation pattern. In addition, fresh specimens had a large red spot on the lateral side of the body.
