HELP! True Perc Stopped Eating

[fishfry]

Don't know what to do. I have a beautiful true perc maybe about 3/4-1". Just a little guy. He's been in my tank now for about 3weeks. First 2 weeks no problems. This past Sunday he just stopped eating. I did take out both the anemone's that he was hosting because they were fading his colors, but replace them with a Sebae which he has ignored thus far. That's the only thing that has changed. I notice twice since then that he has expelled a white stringy substance which I assume is poop. Which is a bit weird since he hasn't been eating for the past 3 days. Outside of that his behavior is fairly normal. No sign of illness. Feeding brine, mysis,and flake. Hope I included enough info. Any ideas,or advice would be appreciated.
Thx Ken

You could try soaking the food in some garlic to make it more appealing. And I'd say 3 days w/o feeding isn't going to do too much damage. Sometimes I don't feed my fish for 4-5 days.

On a side note I'd stop feeding flake food. It could lead to phosphate problems down the road...

Tried garlic and tried live brine. No change yet.
