Does anyone know the name of this damsel?
The pics are not that good so the body color looks a bit faded.

thanks

Black spot damsel?

Nah, Talbot's Demoiselle.

Chrysiptera talboti possibly?

Yup. I believe they're one of the more peaceful damsels.

Yes, this is Karen. I met her once when I was diving. Hi, Karen! Long time no sea!

Karen, you are still as beautiful as I remember

That looks like it

Thanks for the ID

Hey Mike NY,
What do you mean they got darker? Do you mean more drab color?

Hi Jon! I'm not doing so well, but it can't only get better from here

Just normal life stuff that most people go through, but mine all hit in January. And yee-ha! January is over - woo hoo

redFishblue, I agree that Karen is a Talbot's also (Chrysiptera talboti) and Ocicat is right, they are among the sweeter ones. It helps that they stay small (not bigger than 2.5 inches). You shoud be able to keep more than one, depending on your tank size and they shouldn't be a problem with their other tankmates.

Here'a photo of a darker one, fwiw.
