The biggest issue with flake food is rarely the exact brand, but that fish used to eating frozen can be very difficult to train to flake. IME damsels are easy to train, but others can be hit and miss. If you can simply change when the tank is fed and keep the same overall diet, that will likely...

What is the reading you’re getting from your test kit? Is the tank new and cycling for the first time or has it been established for some time? (edited to fix an unfortunate typo)

Oh! Well that is a very different situation :lol: oops

That does not bode well for its health, regardless of where it's sitting. If you are seeing movement of any sort from it then it at best needs some help but may be injured and declining (it doesn't look to me like it should be properly stuck there), and at worst it might be time for the sniff...
