My fox face looks like his on his last fins!! Why could this be, my cardinal fish is normal and my two clowns are normal so are my corals, why would the fox face be dying?

24°C is fine, but if you need real help you need to provide detailed information.

I know but I don't have it ATM, I just thought maybe someone would know the reason as to why?

You HAVE to give us more info. What size tank? How long has it been running? Has it cycled? What are your ammonia and nitrites reading? Did you add anything to the tank recently? Give us something to work with.

When I got home he was stuck in between the glass and the top of the heater, never happened before! Could that have weakened him :-(

possibly low cal, alk, mg, possibly too small a tank. I'd recommend about 100 gallons for this fish.

Fish often wedge them selves right before they pass away.

The only thing substantially low is mg, and this wouldn't kill it. Depending on the size of the fish I would think about o2 levels or diet. Fox face require a lot if veggies to be healthy.
