What species of basslet? Some can be a little more aggressive than others. How long have you had all of them together? If one is a newer addition than there can be some vying over territory.
Basslets are usually not very aggressive, theywill chase a fish from their territory, usually a cave or overhang, though if the damsel stood it's ground it could result in a torn fin.
Usually once fish establish their pecking order aggression subsides.
Unless one fish is relentlessly chasing the other I wouldn't worry too much.

A Purple Dottyback, aggressive little guys ( was going to use another word ), might want to get it out of there. IMO they rank up there with the 6-line wrasse on fish to avoid unless its with equally aggressive fish.

That fish doesn't look very happy or healthy.

Do you have a plastic container you can poke holes in to set in your tank so it gets circulation? I fear it'll die in the bowl or just jump out. An empty pop bottle with holes would even work.
