Fiji Angel?

I recently took a dive trip to Fiji and took several pictures - it was amazing to see so many of our "aquarium fish" in the wild! I have seen this species on the edge of several photos and I got a decent pic here. It may be a juvenile but I saw several. Any ideas?

Can anyone help me ID this fish? I'd love to set up a Fiji FOWL tank.

Looks like Pomacentrus Vaiuli, the Ocellate Damselfish. Grows to 4in, typical damselfish behavior (aggressive-ish), I'm pretty sure it retains that color for most of its life, maybe getting a bit less vibrant as an adult.
 
Thanks for the replies! Yet another fish that doesn't play well with others! Between that, special dietary needs, or the need for a very large tank there aren't as many choices as I originally thought!
