About a month ago bought a coral beauty and I bought it “quarantined”. But it stopped eating a couple days ago and it’s getting skinny. I have 2 clownfish with it that are doing great right now. It looks like it had lost its color and looks kind of dusty. I will post a video or picture of him down below. What is wrong with him. And what should I do? Thanks for a your help:)

Sorry I was cleaning my tank and I didn’t get a good picture

Dusty appearance often indicates velvet. If that is the case the treatment is typically copper in a quarantined tank, but it would need to be done very quickly to save him. Could also just be how the fish was collected or treated during the quarantine process.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
