Pomacentrus alleni, the Andaman damsel, is a marine ray-finned fish in the damselfish family Pomacentridae, found in the eastern Indian Ocean.
The specific name of this fish honors the ichthyologist Gerald R. Allen of the Western Australia Museum in Perth. [2]
This fish is overall neon blue, but its anal fin is yellow and there is a broad black streak along the lower part of the caudal peduncle and caudal fin. [3] It may reach up to 6 cm in length. [4]
This fish occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade.
