I noticed that one of my yellow tail damsels was purple I thought it looked cool(kinda like a purple tang) I got closer to observe it then I seen that it was missing a piece it looks like a fish took a bite. The only fish that I've seen aggressive is a white striped damsel ( I have two but only one is aggressive)

Will it heal? [emoji51]

I would take the damsel out as soon as possible and into a qt tank. Run antibiotics to keep it from becoming infected and hope for the best

Isolate it and treat with both stress coat and melafix (both liquids), Thats' half the battle as once healed you will have to return it to tank Or eliminate the 3 striped damsel

I rescued a striped damsel once. A guy had used the fish to cycle the tank, and then couldn't catch it for years. He kept adding new fish to this very large 300++ gallons tank, but the little striped damsel terrorized everyone. The guy finally caught the fish and posted an ad on craigslist for a free damsel. He was threatening to flush it by sundown. I was only 4 or 5 miles away and needed a fish for a frag tank. He was to be the only inhabitant, besides the frags. He lived in there a couple years before I gave him away to somebody else with a frag tank and no other fish. He was an aggressive little bugger. Always trying to bite me. As many of you know, when you have a frag tank, you're hands are in the tank a lot.
