neon damselfish; heavenly damselfish
A small, brightly colored marine fish (Pomacentrus coelestis) found in coral reefs.
I saw a school of neon damselfish in the sea off Okinawa.
Standard katakana spelling for this fish name.
Kanji spelling is rare; the fish name is usually written in katakana.
The name combines 空 (sora, 'sky') with 雀鯛 (suzumedai, 'damselfish'), likely referring to its bright blue coloration.
