A coral beauty should not be kept in a tank that small. Without pictures it will be difficult to say whats wrong, but off the bat it could be a combination of stress due to a small environment and potential feeding habits. Is it eating? what are you feeding it? Is your tank established?

The 10 gallon tank is not its home I am just quarantining it there. I am going to watch it,there for potential diseases. I am feeding frozen mysis shrimp and nori. The coral beauty has a 30 gallon 10 month old established tank waiting for it Thanks for the help I will try to get pictures up tonight

Does it have a place to hide and feel secure?
This is important during QT.
Sounds like the fish has some sort of bacterial infection.
Probably needs an antibiotic but I couldn't tell you which one.
I don't QT new additions.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge of bacterial infections can steer you toward the antibiotic your fish needs.
Good luck!

Back when I did QT sick fish (several years ago) for what you are describing I would have used Mardel's Maracyn 2.
It woulds be worth trying.

You can probably pick some up at your LFS.

Good luck, I hope it works.
Coral Beauties are one of my favorite fish.
