I think my firefish is sick or possibly just injured by clownfish. This morning she was laying in the sand which is very unusual in its self. She is breathing heavy, not eating and has some damage on the top and bottom fins. There is also some weird discoloration around the face.

He seems to have injury on his head. You can try melafix or stress coat slime to cure but he does not look healthy.
Any tankmates/aggressors in your tank ?
 
There are 2 clownfish, 2 yasha gobies, a Melanurus wrasse, some hermit crabs and a couple emerald crabs. I have never seen any aggression but my guess would be the clownfish. It’s a 90 gallon btw.
