No signs of illness on the scales. Eyes are clear.

Just has not eaten in about 1 month that I can tell. Will not touch nori, PE mysis, or LRS reef frenzy, soaked in garlic or plain.

Initially thought hadnt eaten due to some aggressive behavior towards him from the purple tang. Removed purple from the tank for about 10 days, still no eating. My buddy had him for 5 years he said before needing to take his tank down. I added him to my tank in february this year and he ate fine prior to this marathon of fasting. Hes about 4 to 5 inches from nose to tail. I'm wondering if this is possibly just old age or if I should do something with him?

All other fish healthy. It's just this poor guy.
 
Bummer... ;Sorry

Hybrid kept a Powder Blue for 12 years.

Have you tried LRS fish eggs, as a last resort?
 
I have not. Does that usually get these fish eating?
