Can you set a quarantine tank up for it?
Do you have any cleaner shrimp?

Just feed it well, as long as it eats, all should be fine.

I have had good luck with the feeding and hope for the best route.
I do use garlic with the food at that time also, and occasionally normally. Whether that adds anything or not is up for debate, but I do it anyway.
If you don't have a hospital tank, and you do have coral, really not many options.
Some people temporarily lower salinity also.

Cleaner Wrasse would be a good buy. It helped alot when we had our 5 tangs break out! Cleaner Shrimp too.. Food soaked with Garlic, Hope this helps...
