Unhappy need help figuring out whats wrong with my trigger?

I noticed over the last week or so it seems like my trigger has been eating less. He still was eating, but is not agressive at all like he normally is, and he only grabs a morsel or two. Its almost like he is losing his eyesight, he gets all excited comes out, but then swims right through most of the food. He looks really skinny and today he didnt come out when I fed. No visual signs of anything being wrong except he looks skinny. Im thinking internal parasite because I'm at a loss for what else could be wrong. Anyone have any ideas? He has been in my system for system for 6 months. All other fish are healthy and eating. I introduced a mandarin a little over a month and a half ago and that is the last fish introduced.

Worst thing is, Im not sure what I can do for him. Getting him out of my tank is next to impossible and even if I did I dont know where I could put him. I have a 12g nano I could use as a QT but I think the move there and putting a trigger in a 12g would stress him even more. Im about to do a water change. Havent done water level tests, but all my sps are growing fine and colored pretty nicely, which is usually my indicator that nitrates, alk, ph, etc. are ok. anything else I could try?
