I have added a frag of bubble coral, but all other fish are doing fine and acting normal. I am not sure of ammonia, this Hagen test kit I have is probably not real accurate.
The airstone will have to wait till tomorrow as I dont have one, only an air pump.

I'd just stick some airline in the tank without an airstone and crank the pump up. You don't need an airstone to get more flow and surface movement. You can weigh the airline down with a small piece of live rock.
Try to up to flow some more with a powerhead and point to towards the surface to create better gas exchange. Remove any glass lids.

No lids, powerheads facing further up, lots of surface agitation now.
Thanks for the replies guys hopefully this guy makes it, I will report back tomorrow. Jason

I had the same thing today with my Achilles tang, it was breathing quick and heavy and not eating. Yesterday everything was fine. By this evening the Achilles ended up dying. I did pick up a few corals yesterday, so I'm pretty sure there was something on it. As well my Kole tang is now acting the same way. I've got lots of waterflow and have just completed a water change. All water parameters check out good. If you get a chance pm me where you picked up the bubble coral from.

I got the bubble coral from a member on here, but I am pretty sure that is not what caused this (I noticed right when I placed the frag).
The tang was ok this morning but still breathing heavy. I will try running some carbon tonight when I get home.

Look very carefully on the yellow tang for ich. Look sideways along the body as it is sometimes hard to see on a yellow tang. I would start feeding garlic extract now.
Trigger, barring water quality problems, your experience with the achilles is typical. They do fine for a while than up and die for no apparent reason.

Hi Carmen, the Tang and the coral look great today. I am not sure what happened with the tang, I pointed the powerheads up for more surface agitation and am running carbon today, and all seems well. The coral looks awesome, it even ate tonight!
I didnt notice the tang nip at the bubble coral, but definately could have. I feed Michika's food, so they get garlic almost every day. Anyways, all seems to be better, thanks for all your replies, greatly appreciated!
