IMO every tank needs a spot of yellow and these guys are great if you don't have room for a tang or a canary wrasse.
They need - water! They are damselfish, they don't need much, just don't get other damsels and make sure they have somewhere to hide. Consider also feeding them occasionally.

6 months 30 gallons
It could be lighting. That would be my first guess. 6 months down the road you should be cycled and as long as you're keeping an eye on Chemistry, you're golden. If he gets worse, let us know ow your parameters and any other symptoms the damsel is exhibiting.
I used to feed mine some brine shrimp. They don't eat a lot so you don't have to feed 'em a full cube. Just a little. When theyre done eating. You're good.

Yeah, damselfish are outdated and no longer loved and not put in tanks with lots of other fish because of their temper. But I still love them.
