wetback had a FOWLR tank once and yellowtailed damsels who routinely used to kick the butts of the Triggers ( X 3 ) ... they only died over a period of months when they accidentally got eaten by the Volitan Lion

nasty tempers on those fish :eek:

To be fair to damsels, I have seen a small school live peacefully for a long time. They certainly were nice to look at.

I too like the look of Damsels but herd all the horror stories about them so I satyed away. But I found Chromis of coarse more docile, so I bought a couple of those ( blue green ) to try out, and no problems. I then came across ( chromis retrofasciata ) A very cute little fish that looks very much like a damsel. These two little fish are quite entertaining and hug the reef sturcture and by no way aggressive. The only thing that seems bother them, is me when I clean the tank. Thay are very protective of their reef from hairy arms. Can't say I blame them. Just thought I would mention it to you in case your damsels don't work out. I hope they do. Cheers

I know of an Orthodontists office that has a clown trigger in a FO tank. Apparently there used to be several fish in with it, but one by one it "eliminated" all but one yellow tail damsel. That damsel has survived for several years with the trigger. My dasmsels are staying out of my reef tank thankyou very much. I think my goby is much happier to be away from them now :biggrin:
