The clown's fins have been steadily growing back. He is a lot happier now and has adopted one of the rocks as his surrogate anemone and brings it food each time. All the fish in my tank seem happier and come out more now that the damsels are gone.

It's amazing how getting rid of a certain fish can change the personality of your whole tank. When I got rid of my aggressive sixline wrasse the whole tank seemed a lot calmer.

Evil? No. Too aggressive for my tank? Yes. Better that they not be used to cycle/break in a new tank to begin with.
I cycled my tank with cured LFS LR and fish food (couldn't find a shrimp in the frig. lol). When the reading was finally 0/0/4, the gold damsel was the first guy in. Reason is I could never tell how a brand new tank will behave, and Sunshrine costs only $5, to be honest. Like a first paratrooper in a war zone, that guy is staying.
The damsels are happily now part of the LFS live rock tank he keeps a few fish in that tank but they are not for sale. So at least they won't be cycling another tank. He said they won't come out of that tank until they float to the surface.
