Coral Beauty not eating

I have not seen my Coral Beauty eat in about a week. I have not added anything to make him stress. Any other reason he might not be eating. He swims around after the food but does not eat it.:confused:

You haven't seen him in a week? Maybe he is dead and the cleanup crew caught him. I hope not, but a posibility.

How long have you had this fish? Try target feeding him with a turkey baster and see if you can coax him to eat. Take a good look at him thru a magnifying glass to see if you can notice any problems.

Well I think he is blind in one eye. He follows food on his left side and sometimes snips at it, usually misses. Could this be caused by ick. ( he had it months ago and still shows a spot or two) Could I have blinded him with my camera? I hope not.
