Pregnant Fish?????

[sparkie]

Has anyone had a fish that likes to dig a fairly large hole (approx the diameter of a baseball) in the sand and then hang out in it and chase other fish away.
I have a yellow damsel that is doing just that. I don't know if it is sick, pregnant or something else.
All my other fish are fine, physical apperance looks OK, even the yellow damsel looks fine, it is just acting weird all of a sudden.
This behavior just started about a week ago. No sooner do I fill in the hole and a few hour later the hole is back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
