Could be a bacterial infection. Add Furan2 + Kanaplex to your dosing with metro. We call it the trifecta and it works pretty good as it is a very wide spectrum antibiotic treatment.

Can be:
Bacterial
Stress
Vitamin Deficiency
I had similar a LONG time ago. Gave the fish a freshwater bath and then changed diet which I feed til today.
If freshwater bath changes nothing, I used Melafix and lowered tank lights to more blue.
Feed at minimum:
Spirulina brine shrimp
Nori basted with garlic
small mysis
Plankton
LRS herbivore diet
Formula 2 flake and frozen
Add liquid vitamins such as selcon 1-2X per week. If all else fails, I agree with Big G recommendation above
