Green chromis

I'm planning out my 75 gallon reef and am researching possible fish. In Palettas book, he recommends green chromis. i have a couple of questions about these:

1) Are they as nasty as some of the damsels are reported to be?

2) Can I keep a group of 3 - or does it need to be bigger.

3) How do you think they would work out with 2 ocellaris clowns, a royal gramma, a flame angel and a lawnmower blenny?

Thanks for the wisdom

You should have no problem with the chromis in your set-up. Odd numbers work fine.

I have read many people say as they get older you will be reduced to just a pair (male and female). . But someone please prove me wrong because I'd love to keep 3 in my tank. .
