i have a 40 gallon FOWLR with 2 clowns, 1 yellowtail damsel, 1 purple dottyback, and 1 Coral Beauty. Recently my Coral Beauty started acting strange. Wont eat and won't come out from a hiding place. I even put frozen brine shrimp (which they always go crazy for) and she still didn't eat. She is the only one acting this way. Not sure what to do!!!

How long since it last ate? you have 2 very aggressive fish in there . that would be my guess
Two days since she ate last but I'm more worried about her not swimming around at all. These fish have been in the tank together for about 5 months and never had a problem with aggression. This behavior just started happening out of the blue one day. Unfortunately I don't have a test kit so I can't measure parameters. Should I go ahead and do a small water change just in case?

Water changes never hurt but doubt it helps.
Turn the light out and put a little food in there . see if she comes out. if she does it bet the damsel or the other one is picking on her.
