I read that the Talbot's Damsel's are the nicest damsels and don't attack other fish. Is this true?(I'm thinking about getting 2 for my 180 gallon so that they can pair up)

Yes. Talbot's damsels are pretty mild mannered. In fact many of the damsels in the Chrysiptera genus are relatively peaceful. I have 3 different species of Chrysiptera damsels in my 180 gallon reef and they get along fine with each other and don't bother any other fish. They stay pretty small too. They're like small colorful jewels and are very underrated IMO. Good luck.

I too will agree with Chooch1. I kept a pair of Talbot's for many years and they never bothered any one or each other.

I've got 3 Talbot's in my 340 and they do fine with the others, although I am lightly stocked right now. They hang out together and are very neat to watch.
