LOL, never heard of it, but if chromis are part of the damselfish family then its understandable. But then again I dont know if they are, I just know clowns are.

yes, chromis are a damsel as are clowns.
my chromis, cinnamon clown, and blue damsel, all schooled together.
now the damsel is in the fuge, but the chromis try to follow the cinnamon alot.
funny thing is that lately the cinnamon has been igoring the chromis and hanging out with the scopas tang. it reminds me of marlin and dory, only this is a scopas and cinnamon

Hopefully the chromis will have more sense. Damsels will also host with anemones, particularly the dominoe and three stripe, and similar. I think the chromis are more apt to school in the wild and group for safety , spending most of there time in the water column rather than hiding in rocks and whatnot.
My bicolor blenny used to hang out with the sailfin tang, now that was comical
