I had the same thing today with my Achilles tang, it was breathing quick and heavy and not eating. Yesterday everything was fine. By this evening the Achilles ended up dying. I did pick up a few corals yesterday, so I'm pretty sure there was something on it. As well my Kole tang is now acting the same way. I've got lots of waterflow and have just completed a water change. All water parameters check out good. If you get a chance pm me where you picked up the bubble coral from.

I got the bubble coral from a member on here, but I am pretty sure that is not what caused this (I noticed right when I placed the frag).
The tang was ok this morning but still breathing heavy. I will try running some carbon tonight when I get home.

Look very carefully on the yellow tang for ich. Look sideways along the body as it is sometimes hard to see on a yellow tang. I would start feeding garlic extract now.
Trigger, barring water quality problems, your experience with the achilles is typical. They do fine for a while than up and die for no apparent reason.

Hi Carmen, the Tang and the coral look great today. I am not sure what happened with the tang, I pointed the powerheads up for more surface agitation and am running carbon today, and all seems well. The coral looks awesome, it even ate tonight!
I didnt notice the tang nip at the bubble coral, but definately could have. I feed Michika's food, so they get garlic almost every day. Anyways, all seems to be better, thanks for all your replies, greatly appreciated!

Glad to here the problem has gone away. Always a little stressful when you know something looks off but you can't figure it out.
