Pseudochromis:

Pseudochromis belong to the Pseudochromidae family, and are commonly referred to as Dottybacks. Most members of this group of fish are classified in the genus Pseudochromis, and a few in the genus Labracinus. These fish are brightly colored and small compared to their closest relative, the Groupers. Most of these fish reach a size of three inches in an aquarium, and the largest member of this family reaches an adult size of around seven inches in the wild. Pseudochromis are found in tropical waters throughout the world, frequenting coral reefs or rocky areas.

The diet consists of meaty foods such as brine shrimp and other prepared frozen foods.
