    I just noticed my Black Ocellaris Clown has his mouth stuck open and gill pumping real hard. He's swimming awkwardly, close to the bottom. Wasn't like this earlier today and won't eat. Recently added two hammer frags and some pulsing xenia on live rock. Other than that all the parameters are in order. Currently in the tank I have two black ocel clowns, watchmen goby, and a fancy red pistol shrimp. Along with the above mentioned corals. Don't know what's going on and don't want to lose the little guy. Thank you

    How old is the tank? How does the coral look?

    Please post actual numbers. What you might think are in order, may not be true.
    Temp, alk, cal, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, salt, no name a few. How long has your tank been running?
