I would go with 2 55's..
I have a 55 fo that Im going to turn into a reed in the next few months.. and a 55' that Im going to make into an aggresive tank with a snowflake and a dwarf lion... but dont try to combine the two..

A 55 is too smal for just about any agressive fish.
Groupers get too big.
Sharks get way too big.
A dwarf lion would do alright.
Snappers get too big.
Parrots get too big and would eat your corals.
Triggers get too big.
You want small aggressive fish..........you have them. Damsels are extremely agressive.
Agressive fish are predators. They eat large meals at a time and the amount of waste they produce will adversely affect corals.
Try some dottybacks. They can be aggressive and would fit your tank.
Basically a 55 is too small for agressive species and they do not mix well with corals.

ive heard that butterflies will eat anemones or at the least pick at them.. you should watch out for it

I hope you don't have any dusters. They love to snack on dusters.
