How about a pair of clowns? Nicely behaved, hardy, colorful... Rearrange your rocks before putting in the clowns, in order to confuse the damsel. That said, if the domino damsel is still small, it shouldn't try to dominate the entire tank.

Or, a firefish is also good. Elegant fish.

Or, a pseudochromis. Might give that damsel a good talking to

Should I get rid of the domino first, I had a blue damsel in there too, boy did he make a mess of the sand, every day the day was cloudy from him stirring up the sand, I went ahead and covered thew bottom of the tank with 4" base rock and then set my live rock ontop so there were caves under the rock so he wouldnt dig holes and that fish would do tail walks from one end of the tank to the other so out he came....I put the domino back in didnt think he would cause a problem.............will he with a couple of clowns.????

Should be fine. Just be sure to confuse the domino when you put the clowns in, so that the domino doesn't think he 'owns' any particular piece of real estate.

Your mileage may vary with the personalities of your fish. I have a yellow-tailed blue damsel which is terrified of its own shadow, and a clown who defends a rock (rock, not anemone!) from my cleaning fingers...

I lauged out loud about the above mentioned clown. I had two F/Perculas who would guard a yellow fiji leather I swear I jumped ten feet every time those boogers would bite my arm However they are great fish would make a nice addition to your set up.Good Reefing
