Hey guys!

So I recently got a melanarus wrasse and I'm sure his time clock is all jacked up..any ways to fix this so he stays out at the right time and can get food so he doesn't die?

Like should I just turn all lights out for a day or two and then back on schedule? or what..

Yup! May take a bit though. I’ve a pencil wrasse in QT and still hasn’t quite got things worked out after close to a month.

If you know when it currently buries for the night, try feeding 5-15min before that time. This often helps them to stay up a little later. And just keep pushing that feeding back little by little.
