Patches on damsel

[GHOSTLY]

As much as I regret getting this fish for how mean it can be sometimes, ive decided to keep it because the tank seems to have balanced itself out. I have no ammonia present, tanks been up 7 months, acros are growing. Other residents are a springeri which is super shy (even before getting the talbot) and a clown who keeps to himself. Ive got a watchman goby which ive seen chase the damsel once due to the damsel trying to enter the burrow. Anyone have any idea what this is

Ammonia nitrite 0
Phos .07
Nitrate 10
Acro dominated system

I presume there are similar spots on its left side? If so, those spots line up with the stress/nighttime coloration for this species, but these spots are a LOT more distinct. I can't tell you what would be stressing the fish out though.....

Tonight's behavior was weird as he typically sleeps inside a cave. He is the main bully of the tank so I assume nothings nipping at him. He is looking okay today but ill keep it updated
