p. alleni vs p. coelestis damsels

[fifthtoe]

Not to mention the store name, but I ordered an allen's damsel but received what I believe is a blue and gold damsel. Does anyone have experience with this fish? Do they have same temperament as the allen's? I've read that they can be more aggressive to other tank mates but would like some real life feedback from people who have the fish. This guy would be going into a 75g tank with:

1) tailspot blennie
2) midas blennie
3) royal gramma
4) orange stripe prawn goby
5) linespot flasher wrasse

Here"s a pic, what do you guys think, p. coelestis?

I would say Pomacentrus auriventris. I have kept both P auriventris and P. coelestis and from my experience, P auriventris are the less aggressive of the two species. Neither species have been as easy going as P. alleni (IME), but they do tend to be much hardier. I kept mine in groups of at least 5, and while there was a good amount of bickering, most of the aggression was toward each other and they pretty much left the other fish alone.
