Does anyone here have a ocellate damselfish?

So, I have been trying to find more info on care on this particular damsel. I was curious if anyone has kept this one long term with other damselfish.

I really like damsels and I was wondering if I could keep them with the following in a 30 gallon:

2 Occe Clowns
2 Striped Blennies
* Potentially with a Starcki Damsel.

The only thing I can really find on care for these guys right now is that they seem to be an algae farming damsel species (i.e. they feed on filamentous algae and will defend patches of it to feed on) and that they also eat small inverts (like pods, mysis, etc.).

So, I'd probably try to encourage that farming behavior for good health, and I'd probably add some pods to the tank too.
