i have 4 damsels 1 snowflake eel its 80 gallon crushed coral reading are 0.0 for ammonia 0.1 for nitrite my tank has been set up for about 4 months i am doing hyposalinity on my tank now is that what could be making him do this

It is not the hyposalinity. It is most likely the ammonia. That in itself would be bad on a healthy fish, but on this sick fish, that has been sick for quite some time, it could be deadly.
Cool, do water changes to get and keep that ammonia level at zero.
Why is it up? Did that just happen? Did you add any medication by chance??
