Salinity is 1.024 temp is 79 and ammonia is zero but my test kit is older and could be wrong....

Not likely as the problem you are having occurred immediately when you placed the fish in the water.
You need to get a proper test kit. Don't add any fish until a month after your tank cycles and one fish at a time per month.

Your rushing things will cause you lots of problems. Please be patient.

Just noticed you have more fish in the tank? What do you have and when did you add them?

[anaitari]

I have 2 clowns a bangaii cardinal and a sailfin tang all juveniles and very small all as healthy and happy as can be. I didn't think adding a fish the size of a quarter would add much to the bioload

What is the the tang doing now?
I do not think it is an ammonia problem otherwise you other fish would show problems.

It has to be the transfer or just the shock.
Shut off all the lights on the tank and in the room. Stay away from your tank. It is OK to watch from a distance. Leave the lights in the tank off for a day and observe the fish from a distance. Approach the tank only to feed.

Swimming downwards in one of the branched rocks....constantly swimming and facing down.

Your tank has likely not cycled and your tang is suffering.
Do a water change if you have salt water prepared but do not do it suddenly. Turn your powerhead on as well. and place it near the top of the water line.
If it is ammonia the water change will dilute it and the powerhead will add oxygen to the water.
