i had a 4 stripe damsel(which is almost like the 3 stripe except with a black tail) and he didn't have this activity. Damsels are usually fish that are active and agressive. It sounds like there is something wrong with him. Of course, he may just be shy, but it doesnt sound like it. I would say maybe your water wasn't warm enough. Make sure your heater is plugged in. One time I accidently unplugged my heater or something and it stayed off for awhile. I didn't notice it was off until my yellow tang began to swim around it.
(btw this is very off topic but your name means camaro tuner? Assuming you mean the car, we have a 2010 camaro and love it)
