My new lemon peel won’t eat. Just picks at the glass and live rock. I have tried reef frenzy, frozen angel / butterfly food , two types of dry flakes, nori sheet. He runs up to the food but either won’t eat or spits it out. Any ideas???

How new is it? How old is the tank? What other fish are in the tank? What are your Parameters?

Is the fish in quarantine tank or DP already? I wouldn't sweat if the fish doesn't eat for a day or two. But beyond 3-4 days of fasting would be very concerning. Is the water medicated? Have you tried any live food (live brime shrimp, live worms) to try to crack open the appetite?
Fish is on 6 days now other fish are ok. Parma are kh 9.46; ca 515; mg 1470; po 0; no 10; sal 1.024. Tank is 8 yrs old. Other fish arn’t chasing him. I’ll see if I can find live food but I have seen it sold around here . I don’t quarantine had too many problems in the past.
