Doesn't sound good. Is he being picked on? Most triggers love to attack lion fins. The damsel could easily get after him too.

i talked to my lfs they think there was something wrong with him like a virus because of the swirling around and there being no current in the tank it was like he was spazzing just got home from work he was buried between to rocks thought he was dead but no and now i cant get to him to take him out of the tank try again tomorrow

I'd watch him very closely. If he dies, you could get a dangerous ammonia spike; especially if your tank is fairly new. Its hard to say; but sometimes its best to just remove a fish that faces certain death. I'm not saying you're at that point, but it sounds that way.
