Howdy! We have a 150-gallon reef tank with an Apex Fusion system. On Friday, we noticed a green Chromis (1 of 4 green chromis + 2 black and white chromis) was looking beat up and breathing hard. We took him out and put him into a quarantine tank, where he continued to deteriorate rapidly and then died by Sunday. A similar situation happened about three months ago, but we chalked it up to the other chromis bullying.
Since the latest fish went down, we have been keeping an extra close eye on all other fish, and now we are worried there is something wrong with the fins on our two pajama cardinals and two clowns, but we're new to this hobby, so not sure. There seems to be a very light, almost translucent edge on their fins, but again, we aren't sure if this has always been there and are just now noticing. Otherwise, everyone is acting perfectly normal.
I have attached some photos and a couple of short videos for those interested:

Thank y'all!
