If I'm not wrong, green chromis is one of the milder damsals. I have a shoal of 8 green chromis. So far they've been minding their own biz and not disturbing other fishes including my yellow goby. Hope this help!

Are they picking on each other? Heard from some reefers that their chromis will pick on each other till 1 or 2 pairs is left.

1 or 2 do chase the rest once awhile but so far no serious aggressiveness. The rest will just swim away or avoid the aggressor. Compared to the chromis, my anthias is the big bully in my tank!

Best is to avoid damsels. You will have problems adding new fishes ard that size later on.
