Just when everything was at peace in out tank we have a hiccup. My "christmas" anthias is refusing to eat. We feed frozen mysis cubes and it was hiding this morning so I thought nothing about it not eating. This evening it wont go near it. It is almost acting like it is blind, it came out when it smelled it but not taking any??? It has been eating fine since I purchased it last Tuesday....any ideas

uh oh, not a good sign. I had a butterfly fish that was eating fine for about two weeks and then all of a sudden... the same symptoms that you are describing. Is there something in the tank that can be aggressive towards your anthias? That may be one thing. It may just be stressed from the move also. Just a thought. Perhaps try feeding a variety of things. Couldn't hurt to try.
