I have a 13 gallon FOWLR that has a Firefish and a 1 inch Ocellaris Clownfish. Could I add a damselfish to my tank? If not, what active fish could I add? Thanks
 
I very much dislike damsels but they're good for nano sized tanks - except that there's a good chance that it harasses and kills your fire fish.

Your options are mostly limited to small damsels, small clowns, and gobies. Lots of gorgeous gobies out there!
 
In a 13g tank, that already has a firefish, I would skip the damsel.

Possible options include yellow assessor, neon goby, curious wormfish, pink streak wrasse.
 
Damsels have a history of bullying other fish. Although, a damsel harassing a clownfish protected by an anemone I would like to see... or has anyone already seen the outcome of that scenario?
