Etymology: Pseudochromis: Greek, pseudes = false + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: John Percy Moore (1869–1965) was an American zoologist who specialised in leeches. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 12 - 25 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical
Western Central Pacific.
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 48635)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 3; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 25 - 26; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 13 - 14. The Bali and Lombok population was recently described as a separate species as P. steenei on the bases of color differences. The white bar behind the eye, used to distinguish the species, fades in the Philippine and northern Australian populations, while in Sulawesi, it shows clearly. The ones with the orange head are thought to be male.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
A very aggressive species that readily attacks the camera when it sees its own reflection. Mainly found on deep coastal slopes with remote sponges and crinoids in about 30 m depth and often occurs in pairs (Ref. 48635).
