I'm thinking about getting a yellow damsel or two but don't know if they are really aggressive?? I have a snowflake eel, a melanurus wrasse and a pretty big maroon clown fish. Had some blue damsels before and they would harass the clown fish so I had to get rid of them. Heard yellow damsels are less aggressive.

not sure about yellows, but if you want a non aggressive damsel, check out swallowtail/lyretail damsels.
I've got five in my tank and they don't bother any of their tank mates.

I don't know what kind of damsel you can add to a tank with a large maroon clown and snowflake eel that won't get eaten (by the eel) or killed (by a large maroon). You must have the world's most gentle maroon clown and tiny snowflake. NORMALLY any damsel suitable to house with those fish needs to be a full grown nasty sob like a full size domino. What size tank?

Well my maroon would get picked on when he was smaller and my snowflake eel is pretty big. I have a 72 gallon bowfront.

The yellows I had were territorial and semi aggressive

What yellow damsel are you referring to? If you are referring to the lemon damsel, Pomacentrus moluccensis, I have read that they can be a little boisterous, but they usually won't be too much for any fish to handle.

Yes, the lemon damsels. Looking for something that's not too aggressive and get along with my other fish.
