Eating good one day - dead the next

[dstockwell]

Had this guy a little more than a year, always eating no issue's I have see. Came home yesterday and he is upside down on the bottom - I don't get it. I don't problems with any of the other fish and I doubt he was bullied by anyone.

Sorry to see.

I don't see anything on the fish itself.

Sometimes, the fish had subtle symptoms leading up to its death that were missed.

Fish can die for now externally visible reason, it is rare, but it does happen. The wrasse could have been frightened and crashed into something (but you usually can see the damage). It likely did not have anything contagious though.
