Least aggressive damsels

What is that fish in the top left corner who's terrified to go anywhere near the damsels?

Haha that's a diamond tail flasher wrasse female. She does fine though. Swims around all day. Damsels don't bother her. If they do they get the boot. It's not even a competition. LOL
The flow on the right side of the tank is strong because I have a Ritteri anemone there. So most of my fishes are on the left, away from the powerhead.
The wrasse has always liked that spot. Here's her before the damsels were added:
 
Here's my golden blenny chasing one of the damsels to show he runs the tank

Yellowtail damsels are much less aggressive than others. They can be a tiny bit feisty, though, and a 29g is a tad iffy. They do tend to be a bit territorial, so keep an eye on them if you have other tiny fish.
 
All chrysiptera :)

Not really:

Allen's: Pomacentrus alleni

Starcki: currently classified as Chrysiptera, but genetically quite far from the other Chrysiptera. Genetically its closest relative is Nexilosus latifrons.
There are also others in the wrong genus - expect a massive shuffling of damsel species to other families some time in the future.
See page 7 of this article:
Mutualism with sea anemones triggered the adaptive radiation of clownfishes (full article)

Also the Dascylus species actually come from one branch of the larger Chromis clade.
 
Whenever I see one I can't help but think poor man's flameback angel...and I mean it in a very humorous way. :lolspin::lolspin::lolspin:
But that's actually great for you since you already have a Cherub.
Speaking of poor man's blue tang...I like my trio of Azure damsels.

I think of the flame back as a poor man's starcki:lolspin:

If the starcki was a poor man's angel then it surely has to be a resplendent.
