I bought him around 8 days ago and he’s not eating, I don’t know why. He was also getting bullied by my blue tang so I put him in another tank and he’s swimming lopsided, I don’t know what to do!

Yes, a 20 second video under white light. Also, some stills under the same light. And while your at it, just for kicks, what are your parameters?

Was my experience with a fox face. I added him last to my last tank. Basically hid for a week or 2 and then jumped. This time around he's going to go in 1st with my 2 clowns. New tank for clowns so no territory. This way the fox face can settle and have his place before the other fish join the party

He is unfortunately dead, woke up to check on him and he’s just sitting on the floor not moving, picked him up and put him in a ziploc so crabs don’t go after him with just a bit in the water in the hope that he’s somehow alive but he’s probably dead.

Sorry to hear that. That's exactly how my fox face went. So like I said I plan to add one to be 3rd un a 180 gallon. Thos way he has a safe place before more robust fish come in. Sorry for your loss

Thank you, I’m going to try to get a bigger one to see if that’ll ward off the blue tang.
