This morning I found my flame angel gasping for air on the bottom. She's laying sideways with no visible signs of disease or parasites. Yesterday she was acting normal and being the bully of the tank. I've had her for about a month with no problems. Water parameters are normal...zeros across the board. My LFS says it could be cyno poisoning and no known cure. Any suggestions ???

Sometimes it is possible for oodinium or white spot to infest the gills before external spots appear. However, with the speed at which your fish has deteriorated it sounds like something else.
Is there any fish or inverts in your tank that could have stung it?
As with cyanide poisoning I think that is a practice used mostly in Asia, and Flame angels are sourced around Hawaii. If however it is cyanide poisoning is your LFS offering to replace it or refund?
