Damsels are the best. They come in many sizes shapes and colors. They are Less expensive and colorful. Iwill give you this advice, although domino's are pretty black and white fish, more than one in your tank, and they will take over. Everything will be theirs and they will bully even the biggest fish no matter what you put in the tank. After your damsels have survived around 3 months, you can pretty much move on to others. Just be sure to know the feeding, salt requirement and temperature requirements for these fish. Invertebrate's are another story. i.e. feather dusters cannot be kept with chocolate chip star fish. Puffers will eat anything smaller than they are. Do your homework. Figure out what you would like to get and what gets along. You will be better off in the long run.
If you need advice on your salt water im me and I will let you know.
Good luck and enjoy.

I started mine with 6 green chromis so they school and an arch eye hawk fish which has an awesome personality. The hawkfishes do not have aquatic bladders so don't swim except to get from place to place. They kind of hang out on top of the rock and they will actually turn their heads and watch you walk past the tank. Ours hangs out front and center in the tank and it's tough look led us to call it the resident mob boss, sorry you have to see the look on this fish to know what I am taking about. Everyone who sees my tank which is now stocked with some unbelieveably georgeous fish always ask about our hawk fish. They are really hardy too which makes them a great starter fish. The chromis are cool to watch school and interact with each other, sometimes it actually looks like they are kissing each other. Just watch that your tank is well covered though because they can jump out.
Good luck

Damselfish.
Start your tank with a few of them, keep them for a few months. This will allow the biology of your tank to balance, without risking expensive fish.
Then bring them to the fish store (you're not probably going to want to keep them, they're pretty aggresive, and will attack any new fish you buy) and get something pretty.
I'm amazed at how much easier salt water is to maintain than fresh. At least is has been for me.

Damsels are the best and the cheapest salt fish to get. Most experienced tankers get them at first to establish the tank before getting into the more exotic types!

I'd recommend tank bred Ocellaris Clownfish, or honestly any tank bred clown fish. They are a lot more hardy than their wild caught relatives. As a beginner it's generally best to stick to tank bred as they tend to survive better.

For a small salt tank try some neon's and see how they do. I had a salt water tank for over a year and they all fared quite well until I got too sick to take care of them. If you can afford it get a tang....they are just wonderful. And the little pink ones (I don't remember their name) usually do quite well. PS Goldfish are not salt water fish.
