According to a recent research paper, Norfolk Island now has a new species of fish. What was once classified as Chromis fumea has been recognised as a separate species, Chromis norfolkensis. This means our little smoky puller, which is a member of the damselfish family, (and which is, in my humble opinion, one of our most romantic fishes with the cutest little courtship ritual) is now its own fish and has a new common name, the Norfolk chromis.

Thanks to the reader who sent me the paper, Brent. It is published in the Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation, vol 38, by G Allen and M Allen, 'Two new species of Chromis ...'

Norfolk chromis live around two-thirds of the way up the water column, often a little distance from the coral reef.

Prepare to go 'awwwww'. As you can see in the video, right, romance is definitely in the water; these two little Norfolk chromis are courting. If you watch carefully you will see their little 'dance' interspersed with what look just like kisses. Delightful. They lay their eggs under a small rock nearby.

Now I'd better try harder to get a really good photo of this little guy!
