There's been a lot of confusion here on iNat between P. coelestis and P. pavo. Here are both in one shot, with coelestis (neon damsel) above, and pavo (peacock damsel) below.

Looking down from the jetty, a marvelous scene of epic scope! A bajillion soldier crabs moving in groups and waves, with the front of receding water apparently the most prime spot, worth braving the numerous toadfish patrolling the edge and waiting for the right time to lunge forward in the shallows and run away with a crab. Often they wouldn't get the crab-- it was a bit fast for me to see, but looked like the crab would pinch them in the snoot-- and sometimes when they did get a crab the competition from other fish would be so fierce that the crab would get dropped and escape to shore.
