I feed out fish once every other day and it's a 100gal. It sounds like it may have been injured, or maybe a parisite, got a pix??

If I were you, I would return that damsel to the LFS and get something else. If you try to add any more fish to the tank, it'll harass it. We have 3 in our 100 (wife wanted them) but the other fish are bigger (tang) or meaner (tomato's, psudochromis). They are very territorial, one of them likes to remove the coral that I have placed in their area. That's what epoxy is for.

Suggestions, yellow watchman goby, purple firefish, clowns ???? not all of them one or two.

not much room in a 7 gal tank , I would suggest returning the damsel and looking for something small and cute like one of the clown gobies or a Rainford
