Default my purple tang is almost dead

I just came home today and I found my purple tang stuck to the underside of my vortech. Its still alive and it doesnt look like anything got cut off, just has ridges where the gaurds are on it. I dont know if i should see if it will pull threw or put it out of its misery. Right now it is pale in color just laying on the floor of the aquarium breathing heavy.

I definitely put this in the wrong section can you move to marine fish. I had lots of tabs open and clicked the wrong one.

My hippo and my file fish went for a ride into my overflow on Friday. I thought for sure the hippos was a goner. But i decided to put him back in, and watch.

He looked rough for 2 days, but now is back to normal with some new scars. Give your tang some time, fish have amazing me at how strong they can be sometimes.

I know what its like to loose a purple, my little guy jumped out of the tank so I feel for you. As said though, they are resilient fish go buy some garlic gaurd or selcon and show him some TLC and hopefully he should turn around for you.
