Pycnochromis dimidiatus, commonly known as the Chocolatedip chromis[1] or Red sea half-and-half chromis, is a species of chromine damselfish in the genus Pycnochromis. It is endemic to the Red sea, where individuals prefer to live on reefs from depths of 1-36 meters.[1] It was described by Carl Benjamin Klunzinger in 1871.[2] It resembles several other species of the genus Pycnochromis, such as P. iomelas, P. fieldi (which was described for populations of P. dimidiata outside the red sea)[3] P. hanui, P. margaritifer and P. bami.
