Currently have a snowflake clown that is about 1.5" and a yellow tail damsel that is about the same size in a 13.5g nano reef. Want to add one more small fish that's a slow grower, hardy, and is not super territorial. Clown and damsel have not shown much aggression towards each other so I am assuming they both have a more peaceful temperament. This will be the last fish I add before buying a larger tank down the road.
 
Coral croucher!

I love these guys but I'm worried I don't have enough coral for them to "crouch" in. I also heard they can be pretty reclusive. If anybody could chime in with experience I'd love to know.

I love the two firefish I have in my tank, same size as yours. I have a regular and a purple. If I ever get a bigger tank, I'm going to have all four types.

I do like firefish. Definitely in my top 5 and pretty cheap. Are yours pretty active? I wasn't aware they came in different colors other than red/white.

Yes, both of mine are active. They would hide a lot the first couple days, but now hide only a little bit.
 
You don't have a lot of space, and your two damsels can be a little territorial.

A yellow watchman goby would be good.

The firefish would be good too, if your current fish will leave it alone.

Just one damsel and one clown currently. Can always rehome damsel if he becomes a problem.
 
Look into a Two-spot blenny (Ecsenius bimaculatus).

The clown is a damsel, and can be more aggressive than the yellowtail and its relatives.

The small blenny is a good suggestion.
 
Yes a lot of people don’t realize it, but clowns are damsels and can be just as territorial as the rest of their family.

I would recommend a shark nose goby or a geometric anthias. That is if the other fish stay peaceful.
 
I’d reccomend a barnacle blenny, Jaguar goby or a convict goby. Dustin
