Possibly; almost any fish can be afflicted by uronema. It just isn't typically fatal other than with chromis + anthias.

It would be better to move the fish into a separate observation tank after 2 weeks of treatment. To ensure no diseases are still present.

When he swims, is he doing so vertically? Tail up or tail down? The former can indicate a swim bladder disorder; the latter a spinal injury.
