I have a 5-6 in blonde naso tang in my 210 reef and he suddenly stopped eating and acting a little different. i have had him for almost 2 years and he is usually a pig and will eat out of my hand and even bites me. He started out sat just not eating as much. on sunday he stopped eating and is hanging out in the same spot in the tank. On wed night he ate a little flake food soaked in garlic. He stays just in front of the yellow tangs home and the yellow was trying to push him out but it doesn't bother him, he will even push back at the yellow. He looks perfect even though i haven't see him eat since sat but starting to get a little skinny (except under the blue lights i could see a light film of something on his lips on sunday) But that film was gone by monday. Could he have got stung by a coral while grazing? I have seen him shiver/ flex his fins and rub on rock few times but dont see any spots or rapid breathing?
