the rightmost: A. vaigiensis
the middle: A. sexfasciatus

No black spots at caudal-fin base
"Abudefduf caudobimaculatus"
Scale rows between middle of spinous portion of dorsalfin base and lateral line 2.5

These two point of differences can be seen from this photo.
As a result, the species of this photo is "Abudefduf caudobimaculatus".
Now, "Abudefduf caudobimaculatus" isn't synonym of "Abudefduf vaigiensis".
