I just had some fish shipped in and the exquisite wrasse is laying on its side, it is still breathing and moved a little bit when I placed the bad into my tank to temperature acclimate, but has anyone ever had experience with this fish bouncing back from rough shipping?

It’s since then been laying upright on the bottom of the bag, still breathing

Looking like it got damaged during transit. It’s unable to move its right fin so unfortunately I think it’s moribund
