I WOULD AVOID THEM. I got several damsels as "starter fish" but now I don't want them anymore. I spend the last 30 min with a hook and line trying to get 5 domino damsels out of my tank. You think they are normally bad, wait until after they lay eggs every week.

p.s. I caught one within a few minutes (also caught an anthias). Then I think my hook got dull or the fish got smarter. I will try again tomorrow.
