Feeding Questions while in QT

[bluestew]

My blue head wrasse is doing very badly in QT. Stays on bottom under PH, mostly on his side. He has been a very hardy fish normally w/ a very healthy appitite.
Also my mandarin is not getting his normal diet in QT & wont eat flakes, brine or krill.
All other fish seem to be eating OK in QT.

If I am reading correctly your tank is 6 weeks old and you have 10 fish and all those corals. Is that right?
Are you aware of the requirements to maintain the Mandarin fish? They will not eat flakes, only pods...sometimes brine shrimp or mysis shrimp if you are lucky.
How are you treating your QT tank?
Main tank Calcium is low should be 400 -450. What is the alk?
