That's a Sunrise Dottyback....Pseudochromis flavivertex. It's related to the Fridmanni, which is also a Dottyback. Some of them are scrappy, but I have a Fridmanni in my reef with an Arabian Dottyback and they coexist very well, with no fighting at all. If your reef's big and full of rockwork, your odds of having no problem keeping them together are better. But, I'd give it a try.

I think Avi is correct... it certainly is a dottyback. I had a hard time finding a decent image on the web, this was the best I could find. Although most of the images I found for Sunrise Dottyback look like a white fish, from the descriptions I've read, it's actually blue fish with a yellow skunk-stripe. Does this look like your fish?
