Neoglyphidon Oxyodon

Hi All,

May I know what fish is this? Do they get large?

Thanks.

I forget the scientific name, oh it's Neoglyphidon oxyodon. That took me less than 2 minutes to find so shame on you for not looking harder. Gets to about six inches and loses the vertical light stripe as it ages.
A very pretty fish and easy BUT AS TOUGH AS HECK. Real, real tough. Up there with big dominos for aggression. Get the point? If you're asking this question it's likely not a good fish for you.

Thanks...

Can you suggest any good online SW database with picture?

wetwebmedia.com, fishbase.org are good ,though finding particular fish can be tricky if, for example you have an unknown goby

It is a Jewel Damsel (Neoglyphidon oxyodon). This is a very aggressive type of damsel that will reach up to seven inches long (Yes I saw one this size at my LFS).
