i personally would sell the fish you have now, esp. the damsel and go with a pair of clowns, one or a pair of tank raised bangaii cardinals ( only buy tank bred, they are near endangerment ) a few different wrasses and since its FOWLR some type of angel as my "show fish" but thats only how i would do it. regardless, QT fish and stock slowly over a period of months, not days or weeks.
what do you have in mind and maybe we can better help to narrow down your list.
the tanks been running somwhere around 3 or 4 years.
anyways, yesteday i was gifted with a tomato clownfish and three yellowtail damsels, so far so good. unfortanetly, the new stock does hinder what i planned to put in the tank (something like you suggetsed, THANKS again for the ideas ), so now i'm not quite sure what to put in there. i was thinking one or two more fish, though not sure what. i want to put another tomato clownfish in there, but i hear those can be aggressive to each other...
I would avoid adding any more clownfish, as you are correct that they will probably behave aggressively towards each other.
It sounds like you want a very easy to care for aquarium, with some very hardy fish. Given that you already have some territorial fish, I would suggest you add 1 or 2 Tangs and call it quits. A Yellow Tang and Kohl Tang would be perfect additions, both of which are rather sturdy fish, assuming you select healthy individuals.
I like the veliferum, and I do believe that's what I got But the fish was labled as "sailfin tang" and i'm not good with ID'ing saltwater. Here's a pic of 'em:
Zebrasoma veliferum. Be sure to feed algae sheets daily, because Tangs that small need frequent grazing and a big fat stomach!
