Assuming the RG = Royal Gramma. While acclimating the RG, you could try rearrange the rock setup in your tank and put the RG in - sometimes the damsel is too worried about finding new territory with the changed landscape to worry about the new fish. I have 3 damsels in one of my tanks (along with others) and after only a few hours of chasing each other, they all get along fine (they are domino and 4-stripe). I don't think you'll have a big problem even if you leave your rockwork alone - the damsel will probably chase the RG for a bit and then leave it alone. If you have a quarantine tank, you could also put the damsel in there while the RG adjusts to the show tank. Then put the damsel back in the show tank.
