Looks like a Cocoa Damsel with it's body bleached out even has the correct colors around the edges of the body?? ya got me maybe it wanted to be an albino and changed it's mind halfway

Thanks JMC and EvilE, I believe I found it at this site....

I think mine is a variation of this one, as the geographic location can change the coloration slightly in terms of its highlights. Seems like mine took on a little more yellow than black lines.
Thanks! And if anyone else has a better ID, LMK!

I really like the coloration of yours! Im not so fond of the attitude of damsels, they dont allow enough flexibility of inhabitants.

Haha JMC, sometimes ...I stress Sommmmmmmetimes, I talk out my butt too
EvilE, I love it when bully fish get put in their place. LOL
Thanks Ken. Believe it or not, this one is very docile. Doesnt bother a thing and is more shy than anything else. Im not really into Damsels other than Blue/Green Chromis, but I got this guy with a tank a few years back and he has been great! And you are right, most damsels are bad boys/girls you sometimes feel like strangling. This one is a few years old, so I dont think he will turn into the naughty grey terror anytime soon. Unless he gets cranky as he gets older.

Tang, yeah, it was quite a thing! I had a few different varieties of damsels at one time, and he picked on all of them, and actually killed them!! He was the lone fish in the tank for a while. Then I got the cinnamon clown from Jaredloo, and put him in with him, and the cinnamon put him in his place--FAST!!! I now have a firefish, bicolor Blenny in there with them, and they all exist in harmony--no more bullying or fighting!!<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=10429449#post10429449 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by Tangman1218

Thanks Alto, pretty close but the shape is different ( at least from the angle of the pic shown) no black dot, and no yellow around the eyes. Thanks though! Morph, ya think??

I have a pair of yellow tailed damsels that were bulling my Royal gramma until I put them in time out. I put a large plastic breeding container (from my fresh tanks) in there and caught them and put them in there for 2 weeks and then released them agian and they perfect little angels now. Now tht my gramma has her own little hole to live in she guards it well. I love my tank Jonathan
