I have not had any luck finding the yellow fish shown in the photo in any of my fish books. I saw them in many places, so they are fairly common. This observation was at around 15 meter depth.

I hope someone here knows it.

Thanks, CuzzA

It is a good suggestion, and you had me convinced for a while.
However, I also asked my question here Fish ID? Small, yellow-finned, tropical fish in Thailand, and I think the answer there hits jackpot.

It is an Amblyglyphidodon aureus or Golden damselfish.

LOL. I showed the picture to my wife (who is a REEF.org fish geek) when you first posted it and asked here what it was, and she immediately replied a Golden Damsel. I did not offer that info to you because she answered so quickly I assumed she just made it up. My bad!
