I have been dealing with Popeye on my red hawkfish in one eye for Quite a while now and unfortunately he has lost his eye sight and is unable to get any of the mysis when I feed he tank. I now feed him mysis shrimp nightly with tweezers . It got me wondering how many other people have fish with special needs? Let's hear about your experiences or what you are dealing with now.
 
Nothing so extreme, but I do have one Bartlett's anthias who's painfully shy. After three weeks, she's finally come out from behind the overflow box, and now she cowers at the back, near the sand. :-/

I feed the tank, then drop a bit in for her - and hope nobody else spots it, and comes running!
