Feeding my wrasse

[Cbiscuit]

I have had a mystery wrasse for almost a year now. About 2 months ago he came down with popeye. I had a hard time curing him and after several medications and dips we decided to let him be and hopefully heal himself. Well I guess that was the right choice because his eyes went down and he is healthy again. The only problem is that I guess it took too long to heal because now he is blind! I have been struggling to feed him for a while now, I have shot food on the sand near him and sometimes he eats it that way, I also have sun corals that I feed and I believe he has been eating off of them for the past few months. I know I need a routine way of feeding him to keep him healthy in the long term. Any suggestions on how to do this?? I have tried to get him to eat out of the turkey baster but he cant really see it too well because he is blind. I love this fish and would hate to see him starve to death.

blind? I dont know how you would be able to know this. I have had many fish develop pop eye from fighting, running into acros and chasing each other.

You said he's been feeding off the sand bed and when you feed your sun corals, "for a few months". If this is the case he is not starving to death. He will be just fine.
