I don’t know what to do just got this captive yellow tang the other day and I came home from work and he was stuck to the wave maker! He is barely swimming and his eye looks like it is about to pop

Other thread answered. This fish is indeed as mentioned on other post moribund and also a victim of what appear to be aggression from another tankmate.
What other fish do you have in with it?

Clownfish aggression would Not be ruled out as they can be territorial and aggressive. You can isolate the fish in acclimation box but fish is weak and thin and I hate to say, has a low chance of recovery in its current condition
