I have yellow tail damsels, which is one of the more docile of the damsel species and they swim all around and through my rockwork which also has caves. They are brightly colored, affordable, easy to care for and should go well with your other inhabitants. My tank is a 56 gallon with gobies, blennies and a clownfish and the damsels fit right in.

I'm Surprised no one said Firefish
Swimming under live rock through goby burrows? Check. I don't see mine swimming through holes in the rock that often, although that's where the orchid dottyback likes to go -- little teeny tiny holes where bristleworms live. :)

Mine lives with a brittle star and a Court jester goby but still swims through rocks

Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse
Found 80-100 feet deep, they love being in the rock work.
So peaceful, always pecking at the rock.

My Red Sea Purple Tang, Tomini Tang, Zoster's Butterfly, Green Chromis, Pajama Cardinals, Six Line Wrasse, Lawnmower and Snowflake Blennys, and assorted Anthias all like to swim through the caves and arches in the reef and coral. My Percula Clownfish...not so much.
Cheers,
