I could use some half dead Acan advice.

Not sure the feeding regimen is doing much good. I have used very small pellets and reef roids. The flesh tends to look a little fluffier so there may be some good. However, comparing my first pic with this one makes me think I’m not gaining any ground.

I will continue feeding occasionally and I may move it into a shadier spot to see if that helps. Maybe this one just isn’t meant to be. Won’t give up on it though.
It is very far gone, so any improvment is good.

Just a note you should probably feed every day if it will take it.
 
Seems to be rounding a corner for the good! I moved the frag rock off to one side of the tank to give it a bit less intense lighting after the last update. It has started feeding a lot better and everything! Thanks for the advice everyone. It’s great when things work out :)

Didn’t give up on this thing and it has done well! Just thought I’d update this in case anyone ever finds this and wonders if they should bother trying. I think if I fed it more often it would really take off.
