your unidentified fish is a multispine damselfish, Neoglyphidodon polyacanthus. it will lose those pretty colors as it ages.

In addition will probably be so aggressive you will have to house it alone. LOL

The only one I found so far.
Canthigaster jactator
Whitespotted Toby (Hawaiian Whitespotted Toby)
Max Length: 3.5in.
Range: Hawaiian Islands
Min. Aquarium: 20gal.
Foods & Feeding: Varied diet of meaty foods, including chopped shrimp, squid, clams, enriched krill, and fish--as well as preparations designed for herbivores. Feed no fewer than 3x's a day
Aquarium Suitability:moderately hardy if special care is provided.
Reef Aquarium Compatibility: Not recommended. Feeds on wide range of invertes.
Captive Care: Members if this genus are known as tobies or sharpnose puffers and offer some of the same behaviors as the larger puffers without the need for very large aquariums. This species, unfortunately, is notorious nippers, often biting the fins of its tank mates and leaving telltale signes: perfect round holes. It is particularly prone to this destructive behavior when kept in smaller tannks. Best kept singly, unless in male-female pr or in a spacious tank. Deworming may be necessary and the ever-growing teeth may have to be clipped to enable the toby to feed. Offering hard-shelled invertes can help wear the teeth down.
