Help me ID this chromis

[museumguy]

So the last post I made about the unknown Blenny actually became very interesting and I learned a lot so I thought I'd pick all your brains about another odd fish in my tank that I can't find in any of my books. I think it is a chromis/damselfish, but am not 100% sure.

Anyone know what this guy is?<BR><BR>

Might have just answered my own question. Possibly a black and gold chromis I see? Neoglyphidodon nigroris

Fishbase.org is a pretty sweet website.

i have it correctly id'd in my burgess atlas but they have the wrong name to it.. so i cannot help you. it is pg 405 , but they have the exact same fish labeled as black damsel which is wrong lol

if you google your id it comes up something completely different too lo, but the one you think it is looks pretty cool, google it!

I think this is one of the guys that changes a ton from juvenile to adult. Check out the 4th picture on google image search for the latin name:
