Etymology: Pomacentrus: Greek, poma, -atos = cover, operculum + Greek, kentron = sting (Ref. 45335); bipunctatus: Named Pomacentrus bipunctatus as reference to pair of dark spots on the upper operculum and upper pectoral fin base which is its most distinctive marking and a feature lacking in other pomacentrids from the Marshall and eastern Caroline Islands..

This species occurs in lagoonal habitats on coral reef substrates, often on pinnacle or patch reefs at depths between 5 and 43 m (Ref. 54758). Life history characteristics for the family specify that this group is oviparous, with distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).
