Fish is Dying - Help Quick

My new Goldrim Tang has been in tank since Sat. and was doing fine until an hour ago when he started floating upside down and breathing quickly. No stimulation including when I pulled him out in a net triggered a response other than a little flip. I put him in QT under limited light to help with stress. All my other fish are acting normal and have been healthy for over 6 months without issue. There are no marks, parasites, rotting than I can see on the fish. So my thought is stress related. Thanks for any help.

Never mind - he is swimming in the blue ocean in the sky. It's probably bigger than my tank anyway. Any tips for the future. The fish had been at the LFS for over a month and appeared very healthy. I confused on this one?
