I don't think he will survive...he is kind of floating around now

Hard to tell from the picture, but how old is the setup what o you have in there. Could it be a low oxygen issue?

My system is around a month old. I had the start up quick because I used fully cured live rock and hence started adding bioload up. I got a brittle, 2 o. clowns, 1 firefish and 2 turbos along with some frags. The other fishes are doing fine.

I don't thing its a issue of oxygen since I have enough aeration (2 aquon 20 HOBs, 1 rio nano skimmer and a 110gph ph).

I guess this is the common issue of getting a wild caught fish

I shouldn't have got him when I heard that he was wild

Just throwin it out there, but it could be burnt gills from ammonia

Yah that could have been a possibility but my system doesn't have ammonia (got over with the spike already) and I don't overfeed the system (the other clown eats directly from my hand).
