Leopard Wrasse stopped eating

[P1FFyFl00DzAQUArium]

How's he doing? Leopards can be very tricky and strange but I'm very curious about yours.. Was he just transitioning and turned more red blue full male and he eating again?? Do other Wrasse bother him(maybe the Mel wrasse, he looked big)? He had the heart to react to food I see what you mean about him not opening mouth tho :/, he don't want it...Being picky probably and internal parasite the cause but yea hope all is well @demonspeedn

He has never been picked on and ate anything I would put into the tank. One day he just quit eating.
I put him in Qt with Metroplex. Still won't eat. The only thing he has any interest in is the Nori clip I use everyday in the DT. He will pick at it lightly. It almost seems like he is blind maybe, even though his eyes look fine. I tried garlic, Focus, Mastik, frozen foods, live brine shrimp, no interest. He has lost most coloring, so I think his days are numbered. Maybe it's just old age.

Strange you should mention it seems like he went blind. I believe that does happen, fish pass away and people have no idea why. Here's my story of 2 fish that I got through the same supply line, at the same time. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/2-blind-fish.326906/
It's been a year I've been stick feeding the pink tail trigger.

Very interesting.
Glad to hear the Trigger is doing well.

You mentioned his mouth looks like it can’t open? You also mentioned that you recently purchased new coral? Did you use superglue by any chance? I have seen fish nip the glue, which would explain the closed mouth issue...

I've seen him open his mouth after my first post.

Good, sorry if I missed that!
