It will be fine to place him in your tank.

If it was only 30 sec, he will be OK. He won't be happy with you..., but he should get over it...

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

After putting him in the tank he got beat up a lil bit by my yellow tang, royal gamma and nemos. He instantly found my other fire fish and won't seperate =)

lol. It's so true. Just think of his little trip as a nice fresh water dip to ensure no parasites. People do freshwater dips for up to 10 minutes sometimes so 30 seconds wouldn't harm it at all.
