I have a mixed reef with the typ inhabitants, clowns, tang, gobies. I need some more fish to fill up the tank some. My lfs has the black/white damsel fish pretty cheap but these typ grow up and become aggressive. I've never had cardinal fish or firefish, probably possibility if I can find some. Any suggestions on some peaceful fish that are kinda inexpensive.
 
I really enjoy my bicolor blenny, and am getting ready to add a Midas blenny as well as someone told me they have similar personalities but won’t cause problems with each other.

But, these pretty much stick to the rocks? I have a scooter but unless you look for him you'd never see him.

I had a clown blenny? A few yrs back, was yelloe and really tiny but pretty interesting. He stuck to the rocks for the most part, haven't seen them in stores in a while.
 
I have 6 blue green chromis that have been in my tank for almost 14 months with no issues.
Other fish:
Foxface
Tomini Tang
Convict tang
Pair of clowns
Pajama cardinal

The Midas that I’ve been watching at my LFS seems to be very active in the water column, and the bicolor that I have does stick to the rocks but he’s always moving around from perch to perch so he’s pretty interesting to watch and follow around
 
I assumed since they were a damsel that they would become aggressive. Reading about them they seem to stay peaceful. It does suggest to get 6 if you are going to get more than 1 to prevent possible bullying. This is exactly what I wanted, some generic fish to add to the water column
