I always advocate for getting damsels when they are small, so much less aggressive when they grow up around their tank mates. My personal preference is to get all fish when they are smaller, it's nice to see them grow and they live longer ;)

Is this in regard to a new reefer and a new tank? I always say, get the least aggressive fish first

Small fish gives you more diversity in the same sized aquarium - people tend to over stock. Of course, the type of fish is paramount - they must be compatible, properly quarantined, and a species that you can manage in terms of care.
