My Blue damsels are 6+ years in the tank.
Most of the others are over 3 years.
Starki are 2 years.
Surge was the last one added at the start of this year. Went in as a gorgeous damsel, and is now my ugliest looking fish. But the girlfriend loves he is more active than her Achilles Tang and won't let me try to catch him.
I should mention in addition to that list of damsels the tank has a total of about 120 fish. So it is a highly active reef community. I think with more fish there is a bit more chaos and a lot less aggression issues.
As for just the classic blue damsels, I have kept those in all my salt tanks for the past 25 years. I think they are still a spectacular fish, and they make sure any excess food is taken care of.

Just purchased two of them this week. No aggression at all. They even hang out together. The only time they were getting a little be nippy, is when I had both of them together while acclimating them. But now, they are like best friends. They are housed with tangs and other large fish that won't take them being aggressive. I am thinking about picking up another. Their coloring is beautiful. I just hope they start eating my red planaria flat worm problem.
