My flame is still breathing but is just laying flat on the rocks, he swims around for a minutes then lays back on the rocks. The time between each swim is getting longer and longer. Anyone ever experienced this. Is there any hope.


My salinity is at 1.201, temp 78-80. 55gal tank with about 75-80lbs of live rock. I use crushed coral as opposed to sand. My nitrates are either 0 or .25, the color is somewhere in the middle. Hard to really tell.


Is he a goner or is there still hope for him? Should I do a water change immediately?
