I agrae the sal is way high that would deffinitly shock him shoul be between 1.023 and 1.027. Hight sal can kill faster than low sal the fish have to wrk so much harder to echange the water content in their bodies and the higher the sal the less O2 it will hold also higher temp will hold less O2... I keep mine at 1.024 - 1.0245 on the nose... fish corals are happy. I did try higher but softies didn' like it much, you have to find a happy medium and for my tank it seems to be 1.024. I have seen fish in high sal tanks that start losing some of their color just a sign of stress..
