Sick Lionfish

This morning my Volitan lion was darting to the top of the tank and slowly floating back down. His eyes are kind of cloudy and one side of his body is faded like he was scratched or something but it's not to the flesh. He also has a hole in one of his webs. I am very concerned because my fu manchu died three days ago with no signs.
The fu manchu would only eat gupies and krill every other week. The volitan eats chopped silversides, krill, and shrimp every 3-4 days.
Salt 1.026
Alk 10
Cal 460
Nit 0
Amo 0
Temp 78-80, depends on time of day.
This happened over a period of 12-18 hours. Any idea what could cause this.
The only other tank mate is a SFE that is 2 years old and not aggresive at all. I got both lions at the same time 6 months ago.
Can a bacterial infection set in that quickly?
