Obviously a Damsel Fish of some kind but I have never seen anything except the yellow tail that resembles this one.

It almost looks like a Starcki Damsel (with more yellow on the bottom). I don't think it a Blue/Gold not enough tellow.

Yeah it is a damselfish....the guy I bought it from didn't know what it was either only that he had to have it when he saw it. I've been looking at damsel pics for a few days now and have seen nothing even close

Do any of the damsels change colors as they mature?

This damsel may not be the exact species but I think it is the same family.

You have a South seas devil
Hey Samper, You have a Chrysiptera taupou, the village belle/South seas devil. No idea if it changes colour - but related damsels that I have kept have not done so.. Bob Fenners site confirms this I think. See

Awesome kevinpo I appreciate it. I've found a couple of different looking fish under that name but mine is included in them. I don't know why it was so hard to find or how they are calling these all the same fish. Some have the yellow dorsal fin and some don't...maybe male/female differences or something?

I got the link fixed. Here is a quote from WWM:
Chrysiptera taupou (Jordan & Seale 1906), the Village Belle or South Seas Devil. Southwestern Pacific Ocean. A great beauty and relatively non-aggressive. A very nice addition as an individual specimen to reef aquariums; where this one was photographed. To two and a half inches in length. |

Yes that is the fish. I found another site quoting it to be the most brilliant blue fish in the ocean. I think it's pretty beautiful myself. Thanks all for your help
