If the water quality keeps in good shape the fish should recover nicely. have you noticed any aggression? off the topic you got nice zoas you ever thought of fraggin them?

I got him 3-4 weeks ago.  Aquatic dreams ordered him directly from ORA and soon as it was delivered I picked it up, it didnt even come out of the bag.  

temp 81
sal.024
Ph 8ish
alk 8dkh
calcium 460
mag 1220
no nitrates

they only thing thats changed in my tank is I replaced my carbon about a week ago.  My other fish have looked like some have mild ich but I've been running two UVs and they are looking almost back to normal.

One of my clowns is acting weird.   For 3/4 of the day he swims around and acts normal, and then for about 1/4 of the day he  goes to the corner of the tank and sort of hosts in a zoa  frag.  Also, whenever its down in the zoa it looks to be gasping for air.  When its swimming are the tank its not gasping tho.  Its been doing this for about a week.  

I've searched online a lot and its seems thats pretty common behavior for sick clowns.  I just don't know what exactly is wrong.  

All my other fish and corals are doing great.  Parameters are good, and I have lots of flow and lots of surface agitation.
