The black ‘palette’ stripe has become so wide that there is very little blue left on the fish….has anyone every seen this. The fish has been in the tank for about 5 months and is very healthy, has grown considerably and eats calurpa and other marine plants, mysis and brine shrimp, flake, clam,fish meat and garlic….. Why is the blue changing to black???

Okay so here’s the deal I have a 55 gallon salt water tank. It has been setup and running for well over a month. Just a few days ago I purchased 3 yellow tailed blue damsels. Well the very next day one of the fish was lifeless at the bottom of the tank and the other two just swimming away. Checked all the levels and everything seemed normal. The very next day another one dead. The other fish acting normal and healthy. It’s been a few days since and now the once happy fish is now hiding. What could possibly be wrong? I though damsels were soposta be hardy? I’ve come to the conclusion that my one damsel is a murderer. But what could be wrong with him?
I feed him a mixture of live and frozen brine shrimp. And now he’s hiding.
I don’t have live rock, is it a agood idea to get a few pieces even though I already have a fish?
