Blonde Tang stung by clownfish???

[mysaltwaterfish]

I have a medium Blonde Tang who has been very healthy. I noticed that the maroon clown of course was messing with the sea anenome and then when the tang was trying to sleep after the lights went out the clown was next to him and kept bumping into him a little bit. Now my Tang seems disoriented and just lies there. Every once in a while he will get a boost of energy and swim to another area in the tank but he just doesn't seem right. If the toxins from the anenome rubbed off onto the tang a little, is there a chance the Tang will pull through? Is there something I should do?

How long have you had the Naso? Anemones don't have toxins that can tranfer from one fish to the next, they are only capable of stinging fish directly.

Second-hand anemone toxin? Seriously? Wouldn't you get an anemone sting just by putting your hand in the water?
