Lionfish not eating

I have a volitan for 5 years now and for the past 2 weeks he hasn't eaten anything. I've tried silversides, prawn ,krill, clams, squid, and scallops and he shows no interest. This past Saturday I noticed he became very lethargic just staying in 1 spot all day. As far as I could see his body and eyes are clean and it appears that non of the other residence are picking on him.

the tank is 140g and there has been no changes to the system for about a year and all the fish have been together for about 3 years.

Amonia= 0
Nitrite=0
Nitrate= 60ppm
Ph=8.24

I just placed him in a 45g qt/hospital.

All other fish in the 140 are looking and swimming normal.

Please help me save him.
 
I don't have any advice, but you might also try asking in the 'Fish Only and Aggressive Tanks' section here on RC as there are some experienced lion keepers there.
