Fish ID?

[vandy]

Could somebody help me identifying this fish? I got it in a tank break down and can’t decipher. I’m stuck between a yellow angelfish or a lemon damsel. Maybe something else?

He’s a bit faded yellow. I’d say between a yellow and orange

Hope the pictures help.

I would say damsel with the face shape and scales

It looks to be pretty big?

It's a large yellow Damsel (Pomacentrus moluccensis)

I saw that first picture and thought it was a Spanish hogfish :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Yellow damsel or golden damsel and medium tempered

He’s pretty well behaved so far. Thank you for the ID! Looks like it

Yeah he’s definitely the biggest damsel I’ve seen. I think he’s pretty old as my yellow tang I got from the break down is very old as well

You should see the garibaldi damsel- gets to an easy 6"

These guys get pretty big as well. All of 6" out on the reef when snorkeling with them in St Kitts. Microspathodon chrysurus, the Yellow Tailed or Atlantic Jewel Damsel. Juveniles are particularly stunning! Mine is currently about 3", a little territorial but nothing crazy. Way better behaved than the sohal and clown tangs he shares a tank with, and an excellent algae eater. 2nd pic is a wild 1" baby I managed to snap a pic of while snorkeling in St Kitts.
