sounds like you damsels got marine ich. there a lot of differnt ways to take care of it one is hyposalinity.. some marine fish can actually be dipped in freshwater for a minute or so and the ich just pops off of them.. you may not want to try that if you're just starting out.. quarantine him and try to find some med. some use garlic and there are other animals that will eat ich.. Cleaneer wrasses and cleaner shrimp.. do a search see which one works out best for you.. if nothing else try a little bit of all of them..
