    I would be more worried about the eel then the damsels lol. The wrasse likes to swim in and out of rock work, and will most likely find the eel's home.

    Get a mystery wrasse! By far my personal fav. Like the others said.. If you get a wrasse make sure the tank is completely covered. Its not a matter of if it'll jump; but when. And eggcrate isn't good enough, they can jump through the holes lol (i know from too much experience)

    I have had lots of fairy wrasse. They only jump if they are startled or being stressed. They are shy fish only to have with other docile fish.
