Etymology: Pomacentrus: Greek, poma, -atos = cover, operculum + Greek, kentron = sting (Ref. 45335); yoshii: Named Pomacentrus yoshii in honour of Satoshi Yoshii, who provided the logistic arrangements for the collection of many of the type specimens. The surname Yoshii, which is spelled with a double "i" ending, is treated as a noun in apposition.
Eponymy: Satoshi Yoshii is a divemaster in the Marshall Islands who provided logistic arrangements for the collection of many of the type specimens. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Maturité: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.9 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 54758)
Life history characteristics for the family specify that this group is oviparous, with distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Diurnal species (Ref. 54980; 113699).
