Please help me ID this small fish

I bet he is common, but I have been unable to find a similar pic.

Looks like a bluefin damsel (Paraglyphidodon melas). As it gets older it becomes black in color and can get up to 5", it also may nip at soft corals.

They are mean I got bit by one while diving on the Great Barrier Reef.

Agressive but one of the nicer looking damsels.
