Hey guys, long time lurker, new to post

Anyway, I have a 75 gallon FO W/ Amiracle Sump, Protein skimmer etc. that has been set-up and cycled since the beginning of October. All parameters are good.

The fish are-

2 yellowtail damsels(Cycled Tank with)
Cinnamon Clown(1.5 months old)
Yellow Tang(2.5 Months old)
Blue Tang (one month old)
Lawnmower Blenny(Two Weeks Old)
Long-nosed Hawkfish(Two Weeks Old)

The problem is this:

When I got home from work today the yellow tang was on the bottom and would not swim around. He just lies flat on the bottom. Everything else looks fine, the other fish are even trying to help him. The clown and the blue tang get on either side and sort of prop him up and swim with him. However, I noticed that ever since I added the Hawkfish and the Blenny, the Yellow tang will not eat the food I offer. I did not think that this was a problem, as he was always nibbling on the Green algae in the tank. He also has seemed rather listless. Is there anyway I can save him, or convince him to eat? Or for that matter what really is wrong hims him? He is breathing normally and my water conditions are perfect.

Thanks for any input guys.
