Answer
Hi Ben,

Good questions.

By using a large enough breeder net inside your aquarium, you could keep your new arrivals inside for about a week. This will give your resident fish plenty of time to get use to them.

Regarding damsels, I would not mix two different species together in the same aquarium.

The firefish are a peaceful fish. If you have a very aggressive fish, you may want to reconsider.

I wish you the best of luck with all your saltwater aquarium endeavors.

Regards,
David
