I picked up a small, fuzzy dwarf lionfish from my LFS on Friday, still in the bag from the wholesaler. It hasn’t eaten despite trying krill, mysis, and live ghost shrimp. I started metro/prazi yesterday per @lion king. Any suggestions?

Appears healthy, swimming more today than yesterday. I do question if it’s blind. It’s easy to catch and doesn’t even flinch until I’ll touch it with tongs. Also bumps into stuff as it swims. I have it in an observation tank by itself

Any update? Beautiful lionfish.
 
Can you get a better pic of the eyes? They seem very black and I did not notice a pupil.
