That's what they look like as adults. FWIW, I have never heard them called chromis, they are damsels. The Blue fin damsel is also known as the "black" damsel, because they turn black.

They start off mostly white with blue and yellow highlights, but turn to a drab black as they mature and approach their full adult size of seven inches
