    My uncle bought a damsel yesterday and we have no idea what it is. We have looked online and cannot find anything close. It almost looks like a cross between a few different kinds, but we cannot find anything like it. Does anybody have any idea what type it is? Its also more yellow than the pictures show.

    It has some similar characteristics, but I don't think it's a fire damsel. It doesn't have the speckaled markings. It has one eyespot on each side of it's dorsal fin, one eyespot on it's back behind the dorsal fin, two distinct blue lines that meet at a V on it's face, a few faint blue lines on it's face, a yellow pectoral and pelvic region, and a greenish blue operculum and caudal region. The picture doesn't capture it's colors very well.

    Maybe a chromis of some kind. Which is damsel family.

    Cocoa damselfish

    Search Google Images for that to verify, but I believe that's it.
