For the past couple weeks my guy has been being wierd. Not eating hardly at all, he'll act like he's hungry, eat the food then spit it out and not bother with it. He had some of his scales that were comming off and looked like a sore developing on his side, that's taken care of. Why is he not eating? Water is good and I do changes every couple days, there's a little bit of algae growth in the tank but I'm treating that. Any suggestions? The tank has crushed coral in the bottom of it could that have anything to do with it? When it was bare bottom he seemed to be ok.

I've tried omega one pellets, he was eating them. Bloodworms, ate them. Omega one veggie flakes, ate them sometimes. I used melafix to heal his wound and now he just has no appetite. 
He was doing great, eating a ton and growing like crazy but now he just eats sometimes. You think I should use some prazi pro? I don't know what else to do

It was white then started to be a normal color now I'm not really sure b/c he hasn't crapped in a day or so, it's not normal color though.
Isolate and treat for internal parasites. I recommend metronidazole.
The stresses of getting moved to a high pH tank (crushed coral), probably helped to lower it's immune system causing a breakout of internal parasites.
My silk had the same issue. White feces, not eating. Treated with metro and now he's back to normal.
