I bought this at my LFS, labelled as a Jewel Damselfish but it doesn't look like any damsel I've ever seen before. Obviously a hybrid of some sort, but the vertical white lines is throwing me off.

It's a damsel... Not sure what kind but it has that face structure and body structure of a damsel.

Edit: I hit post before realizing your question was asking what KIND of damsel... lol!

Only real way to know is to use a microscope and look at the DNA. Thought It could have been a weird Phenix devils damsel but it looks different in the tail area.

Looks like a Chrysiptera species going by the body shape.
