[nick96ss]

this morning i woke to my small hippo sucked to the side of my ph
still alive but very tired and now he is upside down tail up breathing very hard .his body dosen't seemed to be hurt
any clue as what i can do to help this little guy out ?

Not much you can do at this point unless you have a QT tank to keep him in a more quiet environment.
Most small fish don't get stuck to p/h's unless there is already something wrong with them

If no QT, do you have any foam you can wrap around your P/H's to keep him away in the meantime?

you can put it in that nice big empty sump you have

same thing happen to my Naso tang, it died shortly after.

It's usually not good news when that happens, sorry to say. If you do have an empty sump, that may be the best place to move him.
