Description:
Pseudochromis olivaceus (Olive Dottyback) was always found in association with coral overhangs or large rubble pieces on hard bottom substrates, and would retreat under the rubble or overhang when approached. P. olivaceus is species of Pseudochromis native to Gulf of Aqaba, Indian Ocean: Red Sea, we report for the first time from Persian Gulf (Kish Island, Iran). Relatively large specimens of P. olivaceus that inhabit these corals were observed preying on settlers of Dascyllus spp. Maximum length is 8 cm in Persian Gulf. They are reef dwellers being found at depths of from 4 to 8 m and in association with Acropora corals.
