A Royal Gramma Basslet could also work, or maybe a small Wrasse like a Carpenter's or a fairy.
Damsels, yeah right, peaceful is the last thing I'd call them. They're notorious for being little bullies, taking on fish way bigger than themselves. I've seen it firsthand, it's not pretty.

How about a clown goby instead? They're a great choice, with awesome colours and they stay small, so you don't have to worry about them growing into a problem.

Royal Grammas can be pretty feisty too. How about a Bicolor Blenny?

I'm with ski on this, Filamented Flasher Wrasse is a great choice.

I've had a pretty chill experience with my Blue Damsel, but I know some species can be super territorial. Yeah, best to steer clear of those aggressive ones.

What about a clown goby though? They've got some great colors and stay pretty small.
