I noticed when I cleaned my sump that a quarter was in there, I guess one of my kids put that in there, Just curious, not any of the other fish seem stressed.

What do you feed him?
Do your fish seem to breath heavy?

Metals like that can kill animals, but usually the corals and other invertebrates go first.

Like Jonathan said. But it is always useful to see test results for the water.

corals/inverts will die 1st rather than a fish if you had a metal contamination
