Yall think she got jumped ?? That’s what I’m thinking that she just got bullied by the damselians… jerks
 
Behavior you described suggests she has flukes or velvet.
Start with fluke possibility. Give this fish a freshwater dip in a CLEAN and preferably dark bucket for 5 minutes in water the same temperature as display tank .
Fish will lay on its side and play dead.
Return it after dip to display tank.
Look on bottom of bucket with flashlight and see if you see what looks like sesame seeds or fish scales. If you do- those are flukes that fell off.
If not, prepare to treat in quarantine with coppersafe or copper based medication that says TREATS OODINUM.
you can add air stone during both steps
