I have a "new" 20gal tank fully setup and going for a while. When I first added my damsel it would move around frantically and looked mush more lively than it is now. After the first week something apparently happened and now it dashes back into the coral crevices more often. There is nothing else in the tank besides the fish and rock (no mantis shrimp, bristle worms etc). Water parameters are fine except that ammonia is 0.05 ppm and temperature is 25 C. Does anyone have a explaination for this erratic behavior?

Oh, and I just read the not for beginner fish list but I plan to keep the damsel forever. It just needs to stop "hiding".
