Could 3-4 blue-green chromies coexist with 2 yellowtail damsels in a 65g tank?

I currently have 2 yellowtail damselfish who get along well being temporarily kept in a 20g tank. I'm setting up a 65g soon and I'm considering what else I could add to it. I really like to keep multiple individuals of the same species when possible and I have a soft spot for small fish, so I was looking into fish that could be kept in groups in a tank this size that wouldn't be bullied by the yellowtails. I was reading on blue-green chromis, which apparently tolerate each other but can be quite territorial and agressive among themselves and to other fish depending on the circumstances too. Has anyone kept these two species together? Is there any way this pairing could work? Thanks in advance.

Chromis is a damsel fish, so you will have a tank full of damsel fish. Very hard to say if it will work, I would suggest that ample amount of rockwork will increase the odds.

I'm aware, I actually came across them on my lfs' listing of damsels. l wouldn't mind a tank full of damselfish in principle, provided they don't kill each other lol. The two I currently have essentially live in a pile of rocks and I think that's part of why they mostly get along, so I'll definitely replicate that in the new tank regardless of what else I might add to it.

Love the name by the way! Fellow Doors fan here
