Any Idea what could have caused this? He eats fine, hides more than usual. And what can I do to help him?

Umm, I may be asking a really stupid question here, but are you sure it isn't HLLE? Did it just happen all at once?

It happened pretty fast. The tang had no marks on him. Just dead one day. Then the rabbit fish showed up like this.
