Chromis lubbocki is a species of marine fish of the Pomacentridae (Pomacentrids) family. This fish grows to 12.5 cm maximal length. It occurs in the eastern Atlantic, off the coast of Cape Verde.[2] The specific name honours the marine biologist Hugh Roger Lubbock (1951-1981) who led the Cambridge Expedition to Saint Paul’s Rocks, part of the Cape Verde Islands, who collected the type specimen and realised it was a new species.[3]
