what can i do? Thanks in advance guys
Has this come on suddenly or gradually? If the latter, I would suspect the fish is just morphing into his adult colors. But if it's happening suddenly, then something (parasite, worm, bacteria) is eating away at his skin/scales. Could also be HLLE, but that should be happening more gradually.
But 10 days ago the fish looked nothing like this?? Do you run carbon at all?
I. Am planning to buy 4 shrimps 4 mussels and 2 oyster today, blend them with some ro water and freeze them and try to feed him, the only thing that he liked was shg flakes, tried in the past nyos chromis and artemia but he never touched them
What kind of carbon? If its the cheap stuff, dust from it could be entering your DT and causing what you are seeing.
I only use Rox 0.8. You might want to read this and eliminate any other possible causes of HLLE in your system: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/hlle-head-lateral-line-erosion.259916/
HLLE shouldn't kill a fish. It is time to strongly consider that a pathogen is responsible for this. Are any of your fish breathing heavily, scratching, flashing, twitching their head, swimming into the flow of a powerhead? When was the last time you added a new fish, coral or invert to this aquarium?
I guess wait & see if other fish show symptoms of anything.
In the meanwhile, I would switch over to only using Rox 0.8 carbon and also check the tank for stray voltage (just as a precaution).
