My flame angel has always been active, eats well, and gets on with all other fish. But, he’s been in this corner for three days now. And not seen him eating. I would hate to lose it. One of my favourite fish.

One thing I see is its tail bitten suggesting aggression from other tank member. Also I see cyano which suggests elevated nitrate and phosphate . What is your phos-ammonia-ph- nitrate and what test kits are you using ?
Its mouth seems to be infected but cant confirm with video - any still pics would help. It seems overall concern would be water quality

I can’t tell from the video - is it breathing fast? I see the tail damage, possible causes of that need to be addressed.
How long have you had this fish and what was the most recent tank addition?
