Looks like an injury.

The dorsal fin is also damaged - what other fish are in with it?

How long have you had the fish?
Is it eating?

I have Banggai Cardinal, Foxface, and Flame Angelfish, I have had this fish for ten days, and she was fine eating frozen food and very active in the tank. Last night she could not swim and stuck on the wave maker.

Oh - then that is obviously much more serious. I doubt that the skin and fin damage was from one of those tankmates - possibly the fish is dying from some other cause, and as it struggled, it did the damage to itself on the wave maker.
