So your ammonia and nitrite have been on 0 for the last 3 days? And nitrate below 10? What is your PH on? And SG/Salinity? PH should generally be 8.2 or 8.4 and SG around 1.023-1.026 (not sure re salinity reading).
If your parameters are ok, then you should be fine to add the damsel, good luck getting him out if you ever want to :)
If you acclimate him and dont just put it in the tank, there shouldnt be any reason that he would die, they are a pretty hardy fish. But do make sure your temperatures are kept under control! Have you got a thermometer for your tank?
Dont add your 2 clown fish for a bit, let your tank adjust to having 1 fish in it first. Last thing you would want is your $80 to die from stocking the tank too fast.
Can you put up pictures of your tank?
