These were the best photos I could get of my wrasse, but basically his stomach has gotten super swollen and Im not sure what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This looks to be reveal prolapse but need a closer pic with brighter lighting to confirm
Other would be constipation
What foods are you feeding it?

There are multiple causes for this symptom, but they can be difficult to pin down to any single one. Here is an article where I list them:

Thank you so much! The belly has been like this for a couple days now so Im thinking its constipation.
