Chromis limbaughi is a Chromis from the Eastern Central Pacific. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. It grows to a size of 10 cm in length.[2] The specific name honours the zoologist and diver Conrad Limbaugh (1925-1960) who collected some specimens and was the first to photograph this species.[3]
