Hurt Lionfish

I have a Radiata Lion that is about 3 inches long in terms of body length. For about a week now, it's just been lying around, swimming very little and not eating at all to my knowledge. It appears that it's left pectoral fin is used very little if at all. Is there anything I can do or should I just wait to let it take the big trip down the toilette?
Thanks for any help.

Give it some time to adjust to its new home. It might look hurt to you but in actual fact might be getting use to the new home. Can you post any pictures of it??
Also if you could list the following it would be helpful as I know you will be asked this: Tank size, age, tank readings, and what else is in the tank with the lion??
Another thing you could do to is at night when the lights go out place some food near the lionfish, they do their hunting at night and this might trigger it to start eating.
