Help us out, water parameters, how old is the tank, how long you had the fish? How are other fish? Where is the rest of your rock?

Water parameters are:
Salt: 1.022
Ammomia: None
Nitrite: None
Nitrate: 5ppm
Phospate: 10ppm

I have a big cave structure with lots of nooks and crannies in the middle and found him laying on the right side this morning. I had him for 3 months and my tank is 5 months old. I cultured my live rock to have plenty of algae in another tank and I also gave him a seaweed clip. He lives with a Desjardini, reared mandarin, longnose hawk, fiji foxface and an archerfish. BUT the desjardini was never aggressive to the tang, they often shared the same food no problem
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
