I have a 57 gallon with 1 clown, 1 banggai cardinal, 1 mystery wrasse, 1 midas blenny, 1 scooter blenny, 1 hawkfish and one possum wrasse. I have a really peaceful reef but wanted to add another fish to finish the list off and was thinking about adding a damsel. I would like to get a couple but read they will kill each other off until only one is left. What would be the best selection of damsel for semi-peacefulness and coloration? Is this a good fish choice?

Talbots&rollands are on the chiller side for damsels. They tend to do well in small groups.
 
The above mentioned damsels, as well as the azure damsel are well-behaved species.

How long have you had your fish together? Mystery wrasses can get cranky as they mature, and grow increasingly intolerant of other wrasses.
 
I've had all the fish together for about 4 months, some have been together for a couple years. The mystery wrasse was the last fish I added and it along with the hawkfish killed a tongora goby that I had in there for about 3 years.
