Gohn is looking at reefs
Default Re: yellow tail damsels

I agree and a Chromis or two is a nice start. I do have a few damsels and a tomato clown to go along with a few other tuff guys BUT there is only 1 fish that makes the tank (and me) uneasy - the Royal Dottyback (Pseudochromis paccagnellae) is the jerk of the tank and cowers the yellowtail and nags everything else. Without him/her the tank would be territorial and still be damsel level aggressive but not bad for my taste. Since I mostly enjoy the tank for the inverts.etc. - soft corals, sea star, 2 different shrimp, live rock surprises etc.. I am OK with the damsels which are pretty interesting guys, cheap and colorful and they don't bother the reef party but I don't suggest adding any if you will be adding any nice guys. The dottyback is another story.
