He has become very skinny and is laying on his side and not really moving from that one spot. I added 2 gobys about 2 weeks ago but I don't think they would be the problemCan't see much in the picture. Can you describe any symptoms you see? Rapid breathing, color loss, etc.
How long have you had the fish? And have you added anything new to the tank that was "wet"? Like other fish, snails, corals, etc.?
The tank has been running for 2-3 months. I cycled it normally no additives. They tang had something that looked like white spot but then it disappearedHow old is the tank. What did you cycle it with/how did you cycle it. What’s all the data from your test kits? Is there any viable marks on the fish? White spots? Just by looking your sand is fresh out the bag so I’m guessing new tank?
I cannot get a good photo of him since he is behind my rockwork but i can show uou my water parameters from last week since I haven't tested this week's. The parameters in the grey are the latest.You confirmed by testing 0 ammonia? White spots would be ich but there would be more than one at this point if he’s that out of it. If you can get some better pics of him and maybe we can see something. Also if you’ve tested your water post all your parameters, we have to know the science of the tank as well!
It went up slowly over 3 weeksHow fast did you go from 1.021 to 1.028 SG?
I was feeding his this stuff and now that I had pushed him out of hiding he seems to have blotches on himYour salinity went from very Low to very high. That alone will cause issues. As Big G asked, any unusual blotches, spots, salt grains, redness. . . anything ?
WHAT WERE YOU FEEDING IT?
Also. . . age of tank? If newer tank, you may have had ammonia spikes along with LOW salinity and insufficient diet which will end up in this result.

what shall i do if he is refusing to eat food?I believe it has internal parasite hence the pinched in body.
Additionally, the algae is not enough. At minimum, you should be feeding:
Mysis shrimp
Plankton
Spirulina brine shrimp
LRS herbivore diet
Nori
Formula 2 flake and frozen
ADD GARLIC AND VITAMINS SUCH AS SELCON TO THE FOOD
Try live brine shrimp. Also add liquid vitamins to water as well as a product called ENTICE by Seachemwhat shall i do if he is refusing to eat food?
