dying fish

[Cajun]

Prior to going to bed tonight, I checked my tank. I noticed my black saddleback clown lying on the sand with what looked like a bad case of popeye. He wasn'tmoving much and it has me a little concerned. He was doing just fine earlier today. A yellow tang as well as a flame angel resides in this 40 gal tank and they seem fine. I did a water change yesterday. All the fish seemed fine earlier this evening. The tank is almost 3 yrs old....never had any problems with any of my animals. I checked all the water parameters and everything seems fine. Im worried he may not make it through the night. He wouldn't move unless I nudged him. I don't have a Q tank unfortunately. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

s.g.-1.025
temp-78
ammonia-negligible

How's the PH of your tank? Is the clown a new addition?

PH checks in at about a 8

maybe changing the water freaked him out and he/she bumped his eye. Just a guess.


BTW how is he now?
