Default lion needs help

After being treated in qt tank for ick,my lionfish seems to be depresed,fins foldedback,stuck in the corner,just no looking his usual self
I know lions are sometimes effected by copper based meds(used seacure,byaquarium systems).He's eating like normal,breathing is normal.
All outer appearances seem fine.What can/should i do for him?

He was in the same tank as my rabbit who showed signs,so he was treated as a precaution.Was always on the understanding that lions very seldom were effected by ick because they are capable of shedding the slime coat,I could be wrong though.
