    Hmmm...I'm not sure which coloring I like better. They look awesome to me :D Never heard of them or seen them before.

    That is a different fish than what I posted earlier:

    Black & Gold... (1''-1.5'')

    What I thought you had was this:

    Orange Line Chromis (Acanthochromis polyacanthus)

    Anyway, looks like you got a juvenile and as it grows it will become darker and lose it's stripes - only problem is I don't know if it is an agressive fish or not but just keep an eye on it like any other damsel 8)

    A friend of mine had one of these and it got more agressive with age. I agree, keep an eye on it..

    That is the fish Dr. Frag was talking about. Click on his link and then click on all pictures, you will see juvy colorations (like you have).
