fuzzy dwarf lionfish moulting?

[clxtchsxns]

My fuzzy dwarf lionfish has only recently has had a lot of discolouration on the top of his back to the point where its white, he has what looks like peeling around the area of discolouration and now has extremely dark clear eyes (they used to be quite cloudy) he has also being breathing fairly heavily. From what I have researched he has symptoms of being in a moult. I just wanted to be sure and ask some of you guys.
Thanks,

A photo would help if you can get one, to me it does sound like he’s in moult though.

While they do shed, heavy breathing is usually not part of it. During the shed, eyes can be cloudy, but you describe the cloudy eyes previously, so thats also a little off from a shed. While it can be a partial shed, usually the whole body tends to be a more muted, cloudy color.

How long have you had him and what are his tank conditions. Are you using any meds or tank cleaners, etc. What, how much, and how often has he eating

I’ve only had him for a week or so and I couldn’t get him to eat frozen was gonna maybe get some live food but couldn’t figure out what the tank has been cycled for about 5 weeks now no meds and I have snails for clean up crew that’s it and I had 1.023 salinity, 400 calcium and like 1400 and I forgot my other ones (I tested last week) but was gonna test again when I saw my fish like that

Offer live ghost shrimp and guppies. If they don't eat, immediately treat with general cure or paracleanse.

I have a tank with guppies that I was breeding for him but I forgot to mention he passed away last night I suspect he was sick because my big maroon clownfish is doing well and my eel in there is still eating and seems healthy ever since I’ve been doing about 5% water changes every morning even though every thing seems okay. I’m not sure why or how he died whether I just got a sick lion or maybe I was doing something wrong it was my first time owning one and I did as much research as I could like I said it could’ve been something I did but my other fish seem to be doing well.
