But now I have a problem with keeping both the yellow tail damsel and the royal gramma together. I like them both.

Damsels are Jerks. If you had to pick I would go with the Gramma, but good luck catching that Damsel. lolBut now I have a problem with keeping both the yellow tail damsel and the royal gramma together. I like them both.
Already did the dip, he is resting now and the critters have disappeared off him.If he is swimming ok, not breathing hard and eating well I would not do a freshwater dip but get him out of the tank and do a definitive treatment. You will also need to treat the rest of your fish and leave your tank fallow for 76 days. Otherwise you won't have accomplished anything.
Ick is a parasite that lives in the water column and then will attach to the fish during its life cycle.
The stress of the yellow tail damsel caused the fish to break out in ick. Damsel’s are very territorial and will stress out other fish in a aquarium.
To catch the damsel, I did similar to what I do with a spider or other bug on a wall or floor. You put a cup over it and slide a piece of paper underneath and carry it outside. So, use a decent size lightweight food storage container and surround him in that and press the edges against the glass. Slide it upwards. Then take your net and slide it gingerly underneath the edge of the container and catch him in the net. Problem solved!Damsels are Jerks.
