Etymology: Placidochromis: Latin, placidus = of peaceful or tranquile appearance + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335); turneri: Named in honour of Dr. George Turner, who has been working on the ecology, ethology, taxonomy and evolution of Lake Malawi cichlids for almost two decades (Ref. 55898).
