Hello,
my tank is a little over 2 1/2 years old. My saddle back clown was the first fish. she’s probably between 2 1/2 to 3 years old. She’s usually fat and sassy bossing everyone else in the tank around. The last few days she seems mopey, staying in her hiding place. When she does come out she seems to have lost weight. Yesterday she refused to eat wild caught shrimp, one of her favorites. All water parameters are within range. I did introduce some berghia nudibrachs last week. I had been using aptasia X but felt it was ineffective. I increased the calcium a little to meet the 400 ppm the berghia needed. Does anyone have an idea what’s wrong with my clown fish?

Can you post a picture taken under white light, or better yet, a short video?

I’ve tried twice to post video with poor results. I’ll try to get a better photo.
