2 weeks ago i ordered 5 dispar anthias mccosker, adorned and orangeback fairy wrasse

3 out of 5 dispar anthias are eating well but the problem is with other 2
One is hiding and not eating at all the other one seems to want to eat something but does not

Other wish eat artemia, they go crazy about it.

And few days ago noticed ich on them so started copper power with hanna checker planning to increase to 1.75 in 7days.

What should i do with the 2 that are not eating?
Soon i think it will be to late to help those two.
I tried blackworms, cyclops, formula 1, brine.

If they are not responding to food blowing around in the current and seeing the others eating, you have a major problem. Out of the last three I got in, two died within a week in QT from not eating. I found that frozen Hikari mysis shrimp was the first accepted food. Soaking small pellets in the juices and fed at the same time got mine eating quickly. Good luck
