He's expelling his intestines ( which are usually toxic) as defence mechanism... Something or someone in your tank he dislikes or bothering him...
In a perfect setting when the stressful element is removed he'll plump back up and his intestines will grow back. Unfortunately often in aquaria they do not get better and waste away.
Putting it in a separate tank is a good start but identifying the source of stress could be tricky.
