and i found this really cool chromis but i swear its gnna be freakin hard to find them. http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Chromis-flavicauda.html it looks exactly like yt damsel
Contrary to popular belief, chromis are not nice fish (especially to each other).
Flashing may happen without the female but the duration of the color display will not be as long or pronounced. It may do it as a form of agression towards other fish.

oh ok i get it now. whats more agressive towards tankmates? :
yellowtail damsel or 6 line wrasse?
and also
4 line wrasse or 6 line wrasse?

4 line wrasse or 6 line wrasse?
Both have the potential to be absolute terrors but more people have 6 lines that they love and swear are model citizens over the YT. I don;t think I have ever heard anyone say they love their YT damsel 
.
You will have a harder time locating a 4 line and you may find it to be a little less agreesive that a 6 but this is a fish-by-fish thing.

Being he was only going with 1 damsel, I think the chromis makes a better choice, but yeah some chromis are solitary others shoal together. Being none of his other fish choices resemble another chromis I think one would be a pretty safe bet vs getting a damsel.
You are correct. A lot of people get sucked into buying a group and get left with only one. Depending on the fish, you can still get a little #$%&@ though !
