damselfish identification

please help me identify this fish i think it might be Stegastes planifrons but the purple is throwing me off

 

Wow, I have seen this before. I cannot remember whether it's in a book or at the LFS. Give me a bit and I may remember.

 

Found it. However, it is not Stagastes planifrons. It is a juvenile Stegastes favilatus. There is a resemblence to Stegastes diencaeus also, but my money is one the first one. The favilatus will grow to five inches and turn an overall brown color as an adult.

This is fun.

 

could also be a beaugregory juv, or longfin juv.

I would say a longfin, need more info on it.

 

I'm thinking it looks similar to Ocellate Damselfish (Pomacentrus vaiuli), but hard to tell from the angle of the picture.

pharmrjohn's suggestion above (something in the stegastes genus) looks even more like it. He's probably got it right here. Check this out:

Stegastes

 

I wish wwm was not such a horrid looking web design and horrible pictures.

I am all in for longfin at this point

 

That's in the same Genus as what pharmrjohn said, a longfin is a Stegastes diencaeus.

I understand that, I am naming the species I think it is, a genus is too large sometimes to help.

 

Longfin is a common name for the Stegastes diencaeus, but I think you hit the nail on the head. His looks almost exactly like the link I just posted.

 

ohhh, I didn't see his second post, my bad.
