Clown Trigger missing his food

[CJ31]

I have had my CT for about 5 years, and this has been going on on and off for the last couple years it seems like. He will try and eat food floating in the water, but will misjudge it and miss (he is always too low). Not sure if it is a problem with his eyes equilibrium, or what. Once it falls to the bottom, he seems to be able to get it better.

I feed mostly frozen (prime reef, F1&2, squid, krill), and he also likes to eat the dried seaweed I put in for the tangs.

Not sure if this has been posted, but any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Have you tried target feeding him? Soak some food in a small cup of tank water and squirt the food in his direction. It won't take him long to associate a turkey baster with a full tummy.

Well if he is getting fed, and if he has been like this for 5 years, I would say there is really nothing to worry about.
