Please tell me I can help him. I am not sure what is going on. He was doing fine yesterday when I fed them. It looks like his slime coat is sloughing off. All other fish are fine. I have not added anything new to tank either in a long time.
Parameters are as follows
Nitrate 2 ppm
Phosphate .02
Alk 9.72
Calcium 378
Mag 1402.
Only thing off right now is salinity which is 1.022.
Please tell me he can be brought back
I do have a 32 gallon set up but the salinity is 1.033.
Temp 78
Anyone out there that knows what to do!

I moved him in to an isolation tank right now. I had no choice. Couldn’t leave him in main tank.
 
Based on fin damages, and speed of demise, was attacked, and lost.
Sorry for your loss.
 
Sorry you lost the fox face
 
What other fish are in there? It does look like the victim of aggression.
Yellow tang, blue throat trigger, rabbitfish, 2 clown fish,Christmas wrasse, flame angel. They have all been together for at least a year with no issues.
 
Most of those fish could be a culprit, especially as they grow and territories change. For now, I would just monitor for any increased aggression among anyone.
