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.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin récifal; profondeur 12 - 25 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical
Western Central Pacific: Philippines and Palau south to Australia.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 48635)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 3; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 25 - 26; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 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.
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).
