According to fishbase.org only two Stegastes species are currently reported from Egypt: S. nigricans and S.punctatus, S.fasciolatus is found in the eastern (and northern - Maldives) parts of the Indian ocean. The yellow stripe isn't alsways there: http://www.reeflex.net/tiere/3807_Stegastes_nigricans.htm, there're also similar photos on fishbase.org.
@Alyona Thank you! I just looked it up and found that they are supposed to have a yellow stripe on the side. But then I also found the "Stegastes fasciolatus" - which seems to fit pretty well :)
