I was wondering whether anyone has a suggestion for a cool first fish
to add to my sal****er tank.

I'd go for a lawnmower blenny. He'll help with algae control and what
he lacks in beauty he'll make up for with lots of personality.

I have heard stories about this blenny being aggressive towards other fish.

I also have 3 neon blue damsels that have been with me from day 1.
They are hardy and fun to watch. After 9 months, they still haven't been
very aggressive, but that may be the result of larger more aggressive fish.

I would not advice damsels to a person who did not indicate wish to have one.
These are very misunderstood fish and many people waste them as a cycle fish.
Having a problem then, when fish matures and becomes heighly territorial.

He is thinking about clownfish - this is hardy, beginner fish, good for a start.
Plan the fish you want to keep ahead of time and do not impulse-buy fish
which might be imcompatible to others.
