New fish seems sick in the bag

[Etienne 97]

My new barrier reef chromis seems to be sick in the bag i will set a small qt but do you have any idea

You're not going to be certain until you acclimate the fish. Take images for the vendor. Match temp and Sg.

Good luck.

If he still seems not right in the qt tank, take a video under white lights and post it.

Get it out if the bag and into some clean water or at least into a clear container then inspect. It's hard to tell anything looking at a fish in a plastic bag. Not to mention stress can cause fish to change appearance and I'm sure the little guy is very stressed.
