definetly a damsel, and for the most part damsels are all similar (ie aggressive, fast, and hardy. I know there are exceptions) so its kind of irrelevant.

Nhutty, thanks for inerting the picture. I looked up the Chrysiptera flavipinnis, but it doesn't look like that.
I have a Yellow Tail Damsel, but the coloring is very different. The pic looks kind of blue, but it's got a very purple head and peach body.

Thanks hartdude. It looks like this one.

Chrysiptera rollandi (Whitley 1961), Rolland's Demoiselle. Indo-Australia Archipelago. To a mere one and three quarters inch in length. In Pulau Redang, Malaysia, and N. Sulawesi.
