That’s sad to hear.
When things change that fast, and only affects one fish, I assume attack.
The gramma will defend its spot diligently.
But usually there’s evidence of damage.
I do see “something” on the left eye, but too fuzzy to be sure.

Keep us posted.

I am still very new to this but I thought you mentioned “almost upside down” if so do RG have a swim bladder? I’ve had freshwater fish do this. Not sure what the fix is.
