Hey folks, I need one last, active fish for my 40g. Reefer 170 and I'm considering a Starcki Damsel.

Beautiful fish but I'm concerned about it bothering my other non-aggressive fish. Has anyone had experience with it? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

They’re not as fiesty as most damsels. They may dig up the sand a little.

Bump. Anyone else own one??
I have one and it is very docile. I only see occasional flareups between it and my melanurus wrasse at feeding time but it is mainly both fish displaying to each other and some minor chasing, otherwise it completely ignores all of the other fish in my tank.

I have one in my WB MP25. The damsel and the royal gamma were introduced the same time. The Damsel is such a d!ck... Always chasing the RG.

I think it's getting worse now. So annoyed.
