Foxface heavy breathing

[VerbsReef]

Noticed my fox face is breathing heavy and his gills are a bit bigger than usual but is color is fine. I saw him eating earlier off of the nori but haven’t seen him eat since even after adding food. He does have a spot of ick on him (he’s survived it before and it’s in the tank) I have a qt tank I am going to them in. Don’t know if that might be related. Anything helps thank you.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

That open-mouthed breathing is really serious, especially with combined with not eating. Please take a look at the post that @Jekyl provided and try to fill in the missing details.
