Get the damsels out. Then let the longnose heal itself. If you have a quarintine I would suggest putting it in there for a little while. If you are sure it is the damsels then get them out unless you like them better than other fish.

If in fact the marks are bite marks, most likely the damsels unless you have some other tasmainian in there.
