Chrysiptera cyanea
One species, two dress codes: in most of the ocean the males wear a bright orange tail, but males from Japan and the Philippines skip the orange and stay completely blue.

How to spot
A tiny, deep-bodied blue reef fish. Look for the glowing sapphire-blue body. If the tail is orange or yellow, it is a male; if it is all blue with a dark dorsal-fin spot, it is a female or juvenile.
True colors
Brilliant electric blue. Males usually add a yellow-orange tail; Japan and Philippine males stay blue with dark fin edges. Females and young are blue, often with a dark rear dorsal spot.
