Rabbit fish not eating

[Fin-up reefing]

I've had my rabbit fish for about 2 1/2 years and today he suddenly won't eat. He's usually an active swimmer but now he's just staying in one spot and not moving as much. Any clue on what's happening?

Any changes to the tank or inhabitants recently? Any injuries, spots, sores on the fish?

It looks like slime is coming off of him..

Can you post pics?

That can be due to stress related or sign of illness.

Have you added any new fish or coral lately?

I added two skunk clowns, a soldier fish, and two rocks of Xenia. I mean he ate nori twice everyday for the past 2 years. Survived velvet 3 times. I'm not to sure what happened. I'd send a picture but my camera is not working well

Are the other fish doing ok? Any aggression?

Rabbit fish have thick mucous that can get irritated from a number of things including aggression or disease, sometimes we also don’t know what causes it and the fish goes back to normal.
