Fish I'm looking at purchasing

1. Lemon damsel fish

Anyone ever kept one of these?

I'm trying to plan out my tank and was wondering if this fish would be aggressive like the blue versions.

2. Foxface
I have a Red Sea 250, will this fish be ok in it?

I think the fox face will get too big and need more room. I had one in a 4ft 90g for a while but it got large and needed more space IMO

any damsel to me is aggressive

Ok that's good for input that's what I was kinda thinking on both cases.

So now on to the next question:

What's a reef safe yellow fish?

So far the fish I think I want are:
a pair of clowns
Royal Gramma
Possibly goby/shrimp combo

Can’t go wrong with a Yellow watchman goby

Yellow coris wrasse if you have a top on the tank

I do not have a lid right now but I think someone has something that might work in the dry goods section.

Agreed. The only exception ive seen is the Springeri Damsel (aka Blue Sapphire Damsel). Although their lookalike, the blue damsel, is very aggressive.

I agree on yellow coris and yellow watchman as excellent reef-safe, easy, small, yellow fish. You'll want a top with either of them, especially the coris wrasse.

I have 4 azure damsels in my 90g and they are completely problem free. They are all ORA captive bred so maybe the species along with not being wild caught has them extra mellow. I had a tiny bit of aggression on days 1-3 after adding three to one that had been added a year prior but within the week everyone had settled out and they've been perfect.

I have a white belly yellow wrasse who is awesome as well and would highly recommend a yellow or yellow/white wrasse. Great color without 6line aggression.

I've had terrible luck keeping yellow watchman alive. I had 6 ORA CBs die on me. 2 pairs in my 90 and a pair in my biocube.

I'd suggest adding a tomini as an affordable grazer. They are not super bright but look nice and are a good utility fish.

Could I add a coral beauty or lemon peel?

Would the tomini grow to large?

I wouldn't be to concerned about a tomini in a 65g as long as you've got a decent bit of rock and hiding spots. Mine spends 90% of its time on the left half of my 90g.
