Damsel pairing advice

[MoodyManticore]

Reef newbie question:

I have a 30 gallon with two small clowns and a small Bengaii cardinal.

The biggest clowns have been nipping.

I kinda want a Yellowtail damsel fish but I weary about the aggression.

I'm hoping the clown would focus on a fish that is equally sassy but worse case the Cardinal gets another bully.

I dont think addition of damsel will change anything. Clowns are in nature territorial and defensive and will chase others, bite at them and steal the food

I'll invest in more liverock and provide more hiding places for now, I do want a damsel fish in the future.
