    Sure looks to me like a case of too much, too soon.

    Give your tank some time to mature and cycle before adding any more fish.

    The slowly, very slowly for a new tank.

    Good luck.

    well 1st , youve had 3 ? die on you'
    so the next step is to find out what your paramiters are'
    and damsels (aside from green chromis ) are very much a pain in the "a$$"

    2, tell us what your calcium and mag is , and your iodine ,
    3, whats the alk ? and PH , amonia ?, nitrate ?
    4, how old is the tank ?
    5, did you add all these fish at one time ? did any fight each other ?
    6, did you add some live rock ? if so how much ? what changes have you made ? recently ?
