Some species of damselfishes (Pomacentridae) have a bright blue body color. The body surface of these species has scattered iridophores, which induce changes in their blue coloration. The blue color is readily converted to blackish color during formalin fixation of fresh specimens, making it difficult to take photographs of specimens of bluish damselfishes representing live coloration. In this study, an innovative method for restoring the blue coloration in formalin fixed specimens of bluish damselfishes is described. Chromatophore conditions before and after the blue coloration restoration are also illustrated. In addition, a glycerol penetration method to preserve the blue coloration of glycerin immersion preserved specimens are discussed.

Two yellowish damselfishes (Perciformes: Pomacentridae), Chromis analis (Cuvier in Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1830) and C. xouthos Allen and Erdmann, 2005, were confirmed to be distributed in Japanese waters on the basis of collected specimens and underwater photographs. Detailed comparisons of the two species are given in this study, with assessments of standard Japanese names for the two. New standard Japanese name, “Tampopo-suzumedai”, is herein proposed for C. analis.
