    yeah, but i hear they can be aggressive. i never had one personally. i do have a royal gramma but it is in with bigger fish so i can't really say if it will be aggressive with smaller fish either, but i think it is less aggressive than the psuedos

    Remove the Damsel, trust me, all mine was for me was a big headache. Mine killed 2 Firefish, a Diamond Watchman Goby, and a Yellow Tang...and on top of that I had to take down my whole tank to catch the SOB. I'm not saying all of them do it, but just hearing that yours has already killed fish scares me. If I were you, do somthing like this.

    -2 Clowns
    -1 Clown Goby
    -1 Yellow Eye Kole Tang (Only it's eye is yellow, lol)

    or

    -2 Clowns (Ocellaris?)
    -2 Firefish
    -1 Clown Goby
    -1 Sixline Wrasse
    -1 Forktail Blenny (or whatever you want. Bicolor, etc)

    Watchman goby (although it's not blue)

    you could also try 2 more firefish (they do better in more than one)

    Mine never ate pods as far as I could see, lol. But I just looked it up and it eats Brine, and Mysis...so I think you will be fine with him. I would have enjoyed mine if my Damsel didn't kill it off. They should stop selling Damsels, lol.

    Many of the blennies of this type come in a lot of different colors.

    These blennies have venomous fangs, so typically even a mean damsel won't mess with one.

    You could get an indigo dottyback. I have one. it's a beautiful fish, but mine was a mean SOB in my 35g, then my 90g. the same fish in my 200g is not such a meanie. Typically these are not mean fish though, at least the indigo.
