I've seen a pair of clowns do well with damsel. What size is the tank in question?I know that more than two clownfish usually don't do well together, but can I have two clowns and a damsel?

Thank youThat should be fine. I've seen a pair of clown and damsel at my LFS 60g cube. Been there for years.
You may want to clarify.... what damsel you are thinking about. I have had experience with smaller damsels that grow up into little ********.... they will kill everything that has fins and swims...they will start with each other... and then move to other fish. There was one particular one... it was a black and yellow.....stripped one... That I swear was the meanest fish... that I have ever had. They were vicious. The last one remaining.... It killed everything... It started small.... colorful.... and grew into a terror.
The other consideration.... what kind of clowns? Tomato? Clarki?.... Perc... a designer... Each variety can be different. I know of a tomato clown that was quite the little prick. A 65 gal with a couple of larger clowns... that pair off.... can be kind of small too.... depending how much rock you have.
If you get a couple of small clowns.... start with them. Let them get established... then introduce your damsel.... but stay on the less aggressive side... like a talbots or a springeri. I like the Spingeri as they double as a flatworm muncher. I have three in my 180.... they hide from the bigger fish and dash in and out of the rock. But they take care of any flatworms in the tank. They get great blue and iridescent blue stripes..
I know this is only slightly on topic, but you guys ever see any of your damsels munch algae?
Noori sheets don't count, unfortunately. But you have seen them graze live algae a little bit?
