I just place a order and it arrived yesterday. I opened it up and acclimated the damsels I got but one of them liked like it could of had gill fluke. It had deep wounds near the gill. I isolated that fish and it died this morning. I put the other fish in and they looked like they were doing fine. Today I came home to find 1 dead and 1 other infected. The gills had turned white and it laid on the bottom of the tank. I don't know what to do. I am thinking it could be gill fluke or columnaris.

We just saw something similar to this earlier this week I believe. Do you still have the bodies? You can drop one, or all in a cup of tap water to check for flukes. Looks more like some type of infection though.

I am trying that
Looks like uronema
Possible; although with Uronema the white spots typically turn into red blisters before the fish dies.
I'd like to know the outcome of the FW dip.
