Looks to be some type of damsel. I know you were probably looking for something more specific, but just figured I'd toss that out there...

Abudefduf saxatilis or sergeant major, you are correct.

That was my first saltwater fish... they get real big for a damsel and some say they also get real mean. Sergeant Major Damselfish
