I've seen those before. Not sure about the scientific name but have heard them called Honey damsels. I think that's juvenile coloration. Adult looks different.

according to pablo tepoots book it is a red damselfish(pomacentrus sp."red" is what the books calls it.) I've seen them at my LFS before and was told they are one of the more aggressive damsels....so sad b/c they are so pretty!
