Looks like it could be the beginning of uronema or possibly a bacterial infection.

Of course, maybe he just scraped himself on a rock, but I still feel a resulting infection is likely.

Can you QT?

I agree. every time I see this on a damsel, they end up dying from infection without treatment. I would also suggest an acriflavin dip if you can get a hold of any. ruby reef rally contains this and is usually available.

Thanks you both for the help, I will try the acriflavin dip.
