Look at Bangaii cardinalfish - they look similar to freshwater angelfish. If you can get a male and female, they'll breed in the tank (although it's hard to raise the fry). The male is a mouthbrooder, so he picls up the eggs in his mought after they're laid and keep them for 21 days or so, until after they've hatched. (these would be a better selection than the damsels and will get along better with the other fish) Many of the Bangaiis for sale are captive bred, so they're easier to get eating than wild-caught fish.

Moorish idols are extremely hard to keep, even for experts because they're very finicky eaters! They also require a much larger tank (>100 gallons) than what you're planning!

The moorish idol, Zanclus cornutus ("Crowned Scythe"), is a small perciform marine fish, the sole representative of the family Zanclidae (from the Greek zagkios, "oblique"). A common inhabitant of tropical to subtropical reefs and lagoons, the moorish idol is notable for its wide distribution throughout the Indo-Pacific. A number of butterflyfishes (all of the genus Heniochus) closely resemble the moorish idol.
