Got a fish which I thought had died a long time ago suddenly appear swimming in front of my aquarium glass looking ill. I I attached a movie below. The water parameters seem fine salinity was a bit high 1.027 but added a bit of fresh water so should be lower already. I had a tang dying earlier this week and both of this fish hos brothers died in the past months. Corals and other fish seem all right. What should I do with this fish?

Sorry, I made it public now. Would be great if any of you guys could help me. I'm thinking about tossing the fish away otherwise.
 
Are you talking about the Regal Tang, I don't see anything wrong with it. If a large fish dies, you'd better get it out ASAP, That's a big chunk of potential ammonia.

Edit: I saw the fish you must be talking about, I can't tell much from the video. I can't even tell the species, looks like a wrasse. We'll need a lot more info to help; but don't count on a miracle, these almost look look "last gasps". Need a description & history of his behavior. How long was he missing? Etc.

I don't know what kind of fish it is just that we added 3 of those to the tank as first species upon setup as they got recommended at the shop for being good starter fish. I its been gone around 2 months and just now appeared again it's just hanging in the corner in one spot but it's been like that for almost a week already so unsure what to do
