That is what I thought as well.

I've lol'd my share's worth out of this thread.

Anyway, you can always get some of the tamer damsels (tabolt's, starki's, most of the Pomacentrus species) and add them last to your tank if you really wanted a damsel.

After what I heard they do---I HATE DAMSLE FISH!!

I should correct myself. I do have a few species of damsels in my tank which are colorful and seem to be quite docile like the Yellow Tail Damsels. They were the first fish in my tank (used to cycle it) and they are still alive and doing well 2 years later. I have never seen them bother any other fish. However, most of the other 6 species of damsels in my tank are very aggressive.

I have a pair of yellow damsels, and they are great fish, no agression, nothing. I've had them since I started my tank.

-ya yellow damsels are the only ones i was considering really, although not 2 crazy about how it says ''semi-aggessive'', but did it ever nip even a
lil' bit @ any of ur corals?

[michika]

They never touched, and still don't touch, anything. I've had them with all sorts of LPS, SPS, and amost every type of clam. They've never nipped anything, they don't chastise or chase other fish, very fun fish, always out and about.

-ya probably gonna go with one of those but thats it no other damsels!
also love the yellow color and there not expensive @ all so ya yellow dam-
sel all the way!
