If you have a korallia power head you can aim it partly out of the water which will create a lot of bubbles in your tank.

three hours is pretty long to acclimate how was the temp of his acc water you may have shocked him putting it into the quarantine tank i usually dont even acclimate if the saltinity is close and temp is the same

water temp was at the same as the quarantine tank

what about salinity, how is the circulation and oxigination in your quaretine?

perfectly fine the salint is 1.030 and it has a nano koralia for flow its only a ten gallon and there is a two other fish that are doing fine

well put the powerhead out of the water a little to add oxygen, have you tested for ammonia in the tank? and do you use tap water?

1.030 for salinity? That's a bit high...

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..
