Wrasse issue

[Mdsalman]

I got 2 fairy wrasse, 1 cleaner wrasse, 1 carpenter flasher wrasse and a blenny yesterday.

 

All except the flasher wrasse seems to be dead or playing dead.

 

I know wrasse just lay flat and act dead. But how do you differentiate if its sick or acting dead without any obvious signs

Sound strange, they will act dead when they are stress or u trying to catch them.

If lying for very long mostly is sick already I guess.

[Mdsalman]

Yeah I guess the same. It just seemed so healthy in the shop.

Check your salinity. What is your tank temperature?

[Mdsalman]

That wrasse died today. Temp is 27 and salinity was 1.026.
I wish I could know what he had so that I could treat it.

Do wrasse need chiller? 

[Kingkk]

27 should be ok. They need thick sand bed. Blenny needs matured tank to gaze over rocks.
How old is urs tank. How Long Did u acclimate ur fish
