Name This Sydney Reef Fish

[Spimon]

Name this critter!
Found at Shelly Beach (Sydney, Australia, for all you out of town folk), residing on a rocky reef, 2 ~ 3m depth.
Small but not tiny, about 75 ~ 100mm (3" - 4" for those playing via imperial units).

Any ideas?


Thanks for any pointers.

Easy a Juvenile White ear.. Damselfish. Much prettier young than as adults

Thanks so much! That one's been bugging me for months.
And great site - I'll be bookmarking that for my animal identification difficulties.
