Hello Please if someone can help me identify what type of fish this is?

Thank you

Fusilier Damsel. @Haydn has them. I’d ask him for any more info.

Triple-check me: But I think some Fusiliers get about 4", some get about a foot and 4". Make sure you get the one you want (lol).

Pretty sure he has the damsels not the actual Fusiliers xD.

Yep Fusilier Damsels (Lepidozygus tapeinosoma) stunning fish once it colours up, gets to about 4". Not aggressive and eats any normal aquarium fare. Does well in groups

Thank you all so much. You all have been very helpful.

I just added him to the tank yesterday. He has been a dark gray color ever since I added him. But he has been eating and been actively swimming.

Why is he in a dark gray color?

It could be a couple of reasons. Mine took about 2 weeks before they settled enough to start to colour up or you say only have one, that may cause it stress, they are a group fish, do you have any other small open water swimmers, like anthias for it to swim with.

Did you LFS have any more? if so I would recommend you get a couple more, watching them swim as a group is a joy.
