Yes, honestly our 2 devil damsels (3 striped) would take turns dive bomming our mantis and the mantis would run and hide under the rock. Our mantis is small about 2", is a g-smithi and only eats mysis.

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.

I love damsels. Much like I love myself. I love myself more than I love most people. People should love damsels. People love me.

How's that for random?

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.
