Lionfish Looks Sick

My lionfish is always staying up by my overflow box and seems to have turned a darker brown color, almost light bronze color. He doesn't seem interested in eating.

Junkzoo, water quality is fine, nothing on fish, eyes look clear. Fish just hangs out near over flow box top. Doesn't want to eat. Has been at the same spot for over 3 days.

Junkzoo, I feed it mostly frozen krill, but also feed formula and brine shrimp. I have been feeding it a little more recently. Mostly every other day.

For last resort, you could always email bob fenner. He has always answered my lionfish questions thoroughly in the past.
