Plectranthias pelicieri is a species of fish in the family Serranidae occurring in the Indian Ocean.[2]

Etymology
The fish is named in honor of Daniel Pelicier (1946-2018), an aquarium fish collector and exporter in Flic en Flac, which is a village in Mauritius, who was the one who collected all of the type specimens and provided one of the photographs the authors used in the description. [4]
