Does anyone know what this fish is?

Hi,

I just bought a used saltwater tank, and this fish came in it. I have no idea what it is, anyone have any thoughts? Its has a brownish gray body, large scales, yellow tinted pectoral and tail fins, and then darker black dorsal fins. Let me know!

Looks like some type of a Damsel. Not sure what kind though...

I think you are right, I did some googling on Brown damselfish, and a three spot damsel fish came up, that's it!

Removed.

Yellow on the fins?
Looks like a Chinese Demoiselle.

It looks very similar, the fins I think are a bit different though. I'm pretty sure its a damsel, this is a pic of one online that I saw that looks the most similar

As Mark9 said, that would be my guess as well.
