Help with mandarin

[charliereef]

These past two days my mandarin has been lethargic and wont eat. My clown and damsel are as lively as usual and nor my coral (4 gonioporas, candy cane, zoanthids, discosoma mushroom, bowerbanki, anacropora and a torch that is currently splitting) nor my anemone (rose bubble tip) have shown any signs of illness so im discarding any parameter related issue. The tank is around 7 months old with the rock and water coming directly from a 5 year old system. I dose phyto daily and my sump has a chaeto ball full of munnid isopods and copepods. I seed copepods every weekend and the tanks volume is 35 gal total with a 30 gal display. I got this lady about 20 days ago and she usually picks at the rock/substrate every 4-5 seconds, I have also witnessed her eat both the munnid isopods and some leftover artemia on the rocks.

Yesterday while watching her I noticed some bumps on her skin and a worm near her. Wether or not that worm is inside her I could not figure out.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi

I would suggest try to feed her some feed with garlic. It could be made by yourself or bought. Garlic has great properties to make fish eat and healthy (fights parasits and plenty of diseases).
