It's a bad pic - link was more for the info.
It's hard to find a pic of any quality- anywhere I'm sad to say.

Species: Stegastes adustus
Dorsal spines (total): 12 - 12; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14 - 17; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 13 – 15. Juveniles are reddish orange above, with small bright blue spots on forehead and dark spots at upper pectoral fin base, dorsal fin, and caudal peduncle; colors disappear as fish grows larger (Ref. 26938). Adults dark gray to blackish with vertical black lines on body; a black spot, sometimes diffuse, at upper base of pectoral fins which are pale; other fins dark (Ref. 13442). Biology: Inhabits rocky shores exposed to wave action. Often in tide pools. Feeds primarily on algae and detritus. Territorial and pugnacious. Generally common (Ref. 9710). Taken incidentally in traps and small-meshed beach nets (Ref. 5217).

Not to argue with you E, but Scott W. Michaels states both are Jewel Damsels. The one you pic here is the Mecrospathon chrysurus located on pg.209 common name Yellowtail damsel, the one I pictured is found on pg.213 Plectroglyphidodon lacrymatus common name Jewel Damselfish.
