My Coral Beauty is acting very strange this morning. He just swims in a circle back and forth. Is he dying? What can I do to save him? He is in a 75gal FOWLR tank with 5 other fish. 3 common clowns, 1 yellow tang and a yellowtail damsel. They all have been living together for quite long time. I feed them once a day and today I couldn't find him at first because he usually acts really shy and won't come to me when I feed like the tang and clowns do. They eat from my hand and he takes whats left but I try to break it up so the tang and clowns get it all. Are CB's that timid or is something else the problem. It hasn't been that long since I had the water checked out by my LFS with nothing but the hardness off a little. I change water once a week too. What can I do to save him?

Freshwater dips are not cure-alls, and are very stressful on the fish. Doing one without any identified problem that can be cured by a dip is irresponsible.
I'd monitor the tank to make sure there's not an increase in aggression from the other fish. As clowns and tangs age, they can become more territorial and aggressive, so it's possible that the angel is getting picked on now, even though they previously got along.
