Imo the six line is more of a problem than the damsel.

the paraglyphidodon damsels are known to be pretty aggressive, so it's your call. i know @Katrina71 has a good one, but seems that's more rare.

but like she said, sixlines are also quite rude so it might work out.. at the least it'll probably limit anymore fish being put in there

Yes. My son has one like yours. A total sweetie. It most likely will be the alpha of your tank. Unless you add a mature female goby. A pink spot imo would be the alpha and you will see a change in the pecking order. The six line will never play nice. Just my opinion.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
