I would say if the damsel is picking on the fish to much then ya just go ahead and remove him, he has ample space but damsels are just a jerks, if you like his coloration I would suggest mabey a bang eye cardinal. Goodluck

Ya you cant stop that, emperors are not reef safe at all, very few angle fish(except for dwarfs) are. Also you tank is a little small for an emperor so you might want to get rid of him once he grows up, but it will be a while so you will have a king time to enjoy him.

Those black and white damsels are 3-stripe damsels, Dascyllus genus. Anything in the Dascyllus genus is a damsel you don't want.

Many damsels are fine, but 3 or 4 stripe or domino or their close cousins are really big and mean.
