I'd like to suggest a small blenny. Not a scooter blenny which is actually a pain in the buttocks to feed dragonet, but like a tail spot blenny or something. They have cute faces and are very comical. Most are herbivorous, a few are omnivores.

I've cut up the mesh bags that filter media sometimes comes in and made my own, or else a baby sock with a drawstring or taped works well.

I want something that is going to be out and moving most the time, not something that buries itself and hides

Gobies are the ones that bury themselves. Blennies are pretty active

A damsel would likely kill a blenny, if not just bully it into constant hiding.
He probably wants to give you the damsel because it's a real surlaW.

I'd say thanks but no thanks, unless you just want one lone damsel in your tank.

If you already know that it's a demon though, I wouldn't get a blenny lol. I know you asked seven, but that does look like you've got a hitchhiker. I can't see it too well, but it looks like a baby anemone polyp.
