Etymology: Chromis: Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Paul James Struhsaker (1935–2018) was a fishery biologist and ichthyologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / Tiefenbereich / distribution range
Ökologie
seewasser benthopelagisch; standorttreu; tiefenbereich 99 - 302 m (Ref. 58302). Deep-water; 30°N - 18°N
Eastern Central Pacific: Apparently endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.
Size / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 7247)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 14; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 13 - 14; Afterflossenstacheln: 2; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 13 - 14.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Known only on the basis of specimens caught by a shrimp trawl in 99 to 183 meters (Ref. 7247). 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).
