Emperor angel in need of help

[Pennreels84]

Wake up tday to my emperor vertical loss of color and labored breathing, phosphates at .25 nitrates at 5. Salt 1.026, I figured if I had a major swing in tanks corals would have shown it first. Not sure what it could be. Any suggestions?

How long have you had him

It's very possible that it may have gotten stung by a coral/invert or eaten something that cause this problem. If the conditions in the tank are good there really isn't much you can do, outside of moving the fish into a QT.

+1, I think it ate something that it wasn't supposed too, QT him, maybe treat for parasites
and just wait it out.
