Here's the guy I'm referring to. Are these guys as wimpy as a firefish? I've been considering one, but I currently have a Royal Gramma (a little bosy, but not too bad), Azure Damsel (really don't ever see him bother anybody) and a flame angel (occationally chases the Azure).

I justwanted to know if these guys have a small degree of toughness to them. I see Liveaquaria lists them as peaceful/semi-agressive.
 
I kept one with a black perc and fridmani pseudochromis for a while. They all got along fine.

Mine was a little shy at first and usually stayed in the rocks. When it got more accustomed to the tank it usually stayed in the upper third of the tank right above the rocks...cool behavior.

I'd be worried about the gramma most, but he should be able to hold his own IMO.
 
I have two. No Gramma with them but I do have P.fridmani, Azure Damsels and a Flame. No issues after everyone settled in and as stated earlier they are quite shy till they get comfortable. Fast growers with a surprisingly large mouth. I don't see any problems if you want to add them.
