Cross's Damsel - Neoglyphidodon crossi (juvenile)
While the adult is dark chocolate brown the juvenile has a bright orange color and a neon blue stripe extending from the snout to the rear base of the dorsal fin.
Many times I wonder how come the juveniles are more colorful than the adults as I assume is not for sexual display and it also makes them more noticeable..it is an interesting fact..
