I know I have seen post before but dang.... damselfish are jerks. I bought 4 Neopomacentrus azysron (correct me if I’m wrong) last year. Within a few months it was down to 3 and today it’s down to two. The last two are huge and territorial. Each one has each own side of the tank. The one that died today would get bullied every so often. One point, half the tail was gone but it grew back. But for some reason today it got beat up bad.

Sorry for your loss. Yep, they are jerks. Mine are really funny to watch though. One of mine hates me. I reach in the tank for one second and it will dart across 7ft to bite me. Attacks the tank when I am near too. :) Luckily, she is not quite as mean to the other fish. Too many to decide who to bully.
 
Ours is actually sweet. I know it's rare, but it loves my son! Rubs on him and watches him sleep.
Your fish is plotting against your son. Luring him in....
Keep and eye on that one.
 
I have a damsel only tank and its great, they are awesome fish, sucks they dont get along at all with others.
