I got a free adult neon blue velvet damselfish and two adult three-stripe damsels from my LFS today. They werre in the display tank and they told us we could have them if we caught them. The velvet is pretty beat up but the three striped damsel are doing ok. I have them in a 20 gallon QT tank. What should I do with them?

Are they agressive for a reef tank like most damsels?
 
I have a yellow tailed blue damsel in my reef tank and it doesn't bother anyone. Then again, I also have a lionfish in my reef tank probably keeping the damsel in check. I've seen domino damsels just terrorize tanks before though. Its hard to say, just think how hard it was to catch them in that display tank and how hard its gonna be if they start causing trouble in your tank.
 
Three stripes can be little SOBs. I swear they're the smartest damsel sometimes... I'd never recommend them to anyone. Unfamiliar with the other type.
 
neon blue are agreesive as well they become very big powerful damsels, ive seen them dominate in 6 foot tanks once full grown, they get to a good chunky size!
