i just picked up 75lbs of live rock from a guy and with it got a 5in naso tang on the trip home his bag started to leak and when i noticed he was on his side breathing hard. i have him in a bucket with an airstone to get him oxygen. is there anything else i should do for him? i new the guy didnt pack himi well ... i should have took my buckets like i always do..

are you too far from home to get him in your tank?
if the bucket is the only option, try to keep the surface moving, if you can do so without disturbing the fish. Water absorbs more oxygen from the surface than through an airstone.
also, make sure the temp stays consistent.
