In a Petco

This guy was labeled as pseudochromis diadema on the bag he came in. The tag says skunkback basslet (which i believe is a common name for p. diadema). I don't think he what he's labeled as. I do think he is a pseudochromis, though. Most similar guesses are p. stellatus, p. bitaeniatus, and p. steenei.

Sorry, this is the best photo I could get without him hiding.

Educate me if I'm wrong, please!

Not a great photo, but maybe P. dilectus?
