Novice to all of this and website. Didn't know there was this section for what I was looking for as I post earlier in another area.

Foxface had been doing great(to my knowledge) until this afternoon when wife sent this picture of him. We added a timor wrasse Tuesday and he had been submerged until this afternoon. An hour later my wife sends me pic and status of foxface. Maybe just coincidence but I did a fresh water dip. Don't k ow water params until monday

the pectoral fins appear damaged from aggression but my bigger concern is the fish being moribund which id a term for a fish in such distress that it may or may not make it.
What other tankmates in tank and have you noticed any squabbling with the fish?
If you are unable to determine water quality- First recourse is to do a 20-25% water change and then increase oxygen with air stone to give this fish any chance

In order of adding
2 orange storm clowns
Foxface
Midas blenny
Beghai Cardinal
Exquisite firefish
Timor Wrasse

Added the wrasse Tuesday afternoon and he buried himself until this afternoon when my wife sent me a picture saying he finally came out.

Hour later she sends me a picture of the rabbitfish laid on its side. I got home from work and the wrasse was buried once again.

Rabbit fish, blenny and 2 clowns are always hanging out together like best friends.

Cardinal and firefish are like loners and the wrasse I have no idea about bc I still haven't seen him. I've seen no aggression other than a clown attacking my arm one day placing a new coral in.
