I put her in this for temporary analysis and to avoid causing stress if I have to catch her later

Tho I’m not sure if it’s urchin puncture. I used to have a diadema urchin but only have a pincushion now so I’m not sure.
This works for now

Not fast breathing? She didn’t eat this morning but did eat last night. Ammonia is at 0. I’ve had her a couple months.
You are in great hands with @vetteguy53081 so you can just ignore me! (I had typed my answer before I saw his).

The reason I said this was when my small fish breathe fast I can usually count over 2.5 to 3 breaths per second (150-180 bpm), hard to see on the video but it looked slower is all. I trust you if you think it's faster than usual.

FWIW when my clowns started their move into the big torch and frogspawn they got stung like mad and were acting weird. Hanging in the corner for hours after getting stung.
Other signs of stings that I observed first hand were:
1. excessive mucus on the mouth and fins
2. black burn-like lines on the body
3. mouth stuck open

It took them a whole 2 months to become fully immune.
