I have had my clown trigger for about 3-4 months. Put through full QT with copper and praziquantel. He has easily doubled in size and doing quit well. Eating like a pig. 3 days ago, he just started showing no interest in food. I have been fighting ich in my tank for 40 days. Its easy to say he it is the ich, but I don't thing that is it. He is in a mixed reef with several tangs, angels, wrasses, clownfish. No one has gone on a hunger strike, but the trigger. despite the ich outbreak, all fish doing well.
I did recently start soaking the frozen with metro as part of my ich control effort. He acts normal. No signs of disease or injury. Other than the ich, tank is doing very well. Corals all growing. Parameters on point. No ammonia, little to no nitrates and phos. Salanity 1.025, Alk, Cal all good.
Only variables are the metro in the food and frozen bits of fresh shrimp and black worms I started feeding. But again, all the fish eat that stuff and he is the only one. Only thing I can think to do is find some clams and see if he will start on those. Oh yes, he will hammer nori in a clip, but I don't think he is swallowing it.
video of fish attached. Any insight or ideas appreciated.
