Damsel in Reef tank?

[fishnerd02]

I have a blue damsel in a different tank. I am moving and want to throw him in with my reef tank as I don't want 2 aquariums in the new place. Do you think a blue damsel will coexist in a 50 gal tank with a clown, regal tang, and yellow tang? The 3 fish in there seem like they can hold their own easily against a single damsel. Any experience with this?
Thanks,

As far as the Damsel being in a reef tank, theres no problem there. Depending on the damsel however, it might start picking on the clown after a few months. I had a Damsel in my reef and before long my two clowns wouldnt leave the bottom corner of the tank. Whats in the tank with your Damsel right now?

That's cause damsels and clowns come from the same family......like me and my cousins who argue everytime we see each other.

Right now he is in there alone. I think he will be fine. The clown seems to hold its own against the tang whenever it goes in its territory. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be a huge problem.

i used to have a yellow-tailed damsel and he nipped at my xenia, and wouldn't not tolerate the two clowns i introduced. He got the boot. 2 hours later and a wet floor he was out of my reef tank.
