Here's the stock list:
2 percula clowns
Coral beauty angel
Melanarus wrasse
Magenta dottyback
2 yellow tail damsels

Been asking around and am looking for damsels that will get along with the yellow tails. Was thinking springers. Also, what ever damsel works, would I have to get them in a pair/trio?
 
I don't know, that looks like a whole lot of aggressive fish in a small tank. I probably wouldn't add any more fish, but I do agree that the Springers are arguably the tamest Damsel, but a Damsel none the less.

Agree with above, springeri's might be more mild, but those yellow tails are killers IME.

Hopefully you have really tight rockwork where fish can squeeze in to hide, otherwise I don't see it happening. But good luck
 
Consider Azure Damsels, I think they look better and more mild. I just added a trio in my tank and they're doing good.
 
Damsels need to have there own little corner of rock to guard, be king of. SO if you have lots of rock 🤷‍♂️

I have springers, yellow tails, regular blues (not fiji) azures and a few others in a 330 they chase each other around a bit but they all have there own little spots.
Springers and azures are pretty mellow I dont personally think the yellow tails are that aggressive either.

I did consider them, only for a short time though since I thought they resemble the yellow tails a lot
