The past 2 or 3 days Luna hasn't been eating her wet food. She'll ask me for it and have a few mouthfuls, then she'll start digging around it or covering it up to save it for later - but she never actually goes back to eat it?

I've moved the plate and removed what she's used to cover it to remind her it's there, but she just goes back and tries to hide it again.

She's eating her dry food, and drinking water - in fact she's drinking a bit more which I think is because she's not eating as much wetfood.

Should I be concerned?

If my cats do this, they are telling me they don't like that wet food kind anymore and I need to get them some new stuff that tastes better.

Mine get tired of their wet food after a few months. I rotate about 5 different brands/flavors but sometimes they will just stop eating one and I replace it with a different one

I rotate the flavours a lot - she refuses to eat a flavour in consecutive sessions. But I suppose now it's time to change the brand or the texture. She's such a fussy eater!
