I got this damselfish from my LFS a week ago for $15 but they didn’t say what kind it was. Just curious about the species and good tank mates, I would like to have a pair of clowns and wrasse with him but I know damselfish are pretty aggressive. & Yes I know he has a case of ich. I’ve been treating it for a few days but it’s mostly gone now.

I'd say it is a sub-adult Neoglyphidodon sp., probably N. crossi. They are pretty aggressive.
