Sick P. Squamipinnis

[eye_dr_reef]

Hello everyone (once again). Since yesterday, my P. squamipinnis has been hiding, lost its coloration, and is not feeding. It's not gasping for air, actually it seems like its breathing is slower. I feed a varied diet, with Vitalis pellets, fish balls, Artemia, and spirulina. All other fish are fine, eating and active. Parameters are stable, corals are fine, I had an issue with dinoflagellates recently, but it's under control. I don't see anything bothering it. Should I take action? Do something?

I would appreciate any help!

Hi, we need a clear video, list of tankmates, how long you’ve had the fish, etc.

Great! Thank you for the response, I'm new here in the forum and it has been very helpful for me.

From yesterday to today, the fish woke up well, it's already active and eating, maybe it just had a bad day. Next time, I'll follow these steps. Thanks once again!!
