is there anything else in ther ,crab,fish,shrimp,starfish,ext?
anyways i would set up a qurintine tank
Put copper in it
keep salinity at 1.019
feed garlic pellets to him/her
keep temp high around 80 degress ferintheight
if u cant set up Q tank use the garlic enriched pellets i forget the name but it worked for me when my false clown got sick
i think it is this http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+7927+8126&pcatid=8126

Your PH is to high.
Have you been dosing anything like buffer,purple up or anything like that?

7 is not bad at all. I consider anything above 20 not so good. But your PH is way to high.

If you PH is 8.7,then its to high.
You'll need to do a water change to lower the PH.

my cardinal is swimming like nothing happened (vacumed my tank, water change, ph high, put ph bffing pouder into my tank creating a huje white cloud) and my clownfish is scared to death. all the corals have also closed up.

Your corals closing up is normal if you've just done a water change and added stuff to the tank. Keep an eye on your parameters for the next few days, your nitrates are fine, I think it was just the pH. And setting up a quarantine tank for your fish won't help unless the fish has a disease or injury, not pH problems.

Never add the powder buffer,or anything else thats a powder directly into your tank,
Dissolve the powder in a cup of RO water,then add to tank.
