    I am new to the saltwater world (only a couple months) I have a 36 gal bowfront. In it I have 2 Maroon Clowns, a Coral Beauty, A huma Huma Trigger, a Niger Trigger, and some soft corals. Today I purchased a Blue Spotted Boxfish from my lfs after being told there would be no problems and that I could introduce him like any other fish. After doing so I got online and found alot of stuff that has me pretty worried. How can I tell if my other fish have been poisoned? And If they are ok should I return him to the store?

    They are dead.

    Yes. You have WAAAAAAAAY too many fish for a 36 gallon. You should return some of the other fish as well (unless you're planning on upgrading to a 125 or bigger tank soon).
