I got a new blue reef chromis about two days ago from live aquaria and up until now he's been fine. Swimming in the open with no signs of distress. This morning during weekly maintanance he was fine, but when I went down to feed everyone I found him breathing heavenly on his side behind some live rock at the back of the tank. He seems to be having trouble controlling is swimming and cant move against the current in the tank, at one point almost got cough in the condi. Picture below is his current position, again still breathing heavily. Only thing I can think of is a did a .8 dkh Alk adjustment this morning, but everyone else in the tank is fine. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, I've never had a chromis before so not sure what's going on. Thank you

It looks dead. I would remove the dead fish before it pollutes the water. If it is not dead it looks like it soon will be. Sorry for your fish dying.
