Lyretail Anthias Behavior - suddenly shy

Hey,

Over the last few days i've noticed my female lyretail anthias (just one in my tank) is suddenly gone very shy. Like as if it was in a brand new tank. However I've had it for about a year and it as been very active and eating very good almost every day up until just 2 days ago. It did come out and snagged a small bite, not normally as much as it usually eats, then it darted back into its cave where it sleeps in at night. In that brief time, I didn't see anything that would indicate it was sick. (I qt'd it for 1.5 months prior to adding it to my display way back when I purchased it. All the other fish are fine and acting normally. Water conditions are fine as well, nothing has changed, and i'm somewhat baffled.

Any advice here?

Thanks
Paul
