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
