If that clown's getting bullied by an angel, chances are it'll get picked on by at least one of the damsels.

Some damsels can get along just fine with other fish, while others are a nightmare. I've had success with four stripe and yellow tail damsels, keeping them with clowns and gobies without any major issues. One time, I even had a tomato clown that would bully my damsels - it was pretty funny, actually.
I see what you're saying, if the clown can't handle an angel, it's likely to have issues with the damsels too.

I should mention that my blue devils were always on the smaller side in my tank. The ones with the orange tails, they're the real troublemakers - super territorial. No surprise, they were the mature males.
