Well, I went fishing this morning and didn't catch anything. The other fish are way more aggressive at feeding time and I couldn't get the hook in front of the blue flasher. I tried for quite a while and tried to distract the other fish with food on the other side of the tank but it still wouldn't work. I am trying the bottle trap trick right now, same issue though, I have caught every fish in the tank except the male clown and blue flasher. He's just not daring enough to get after the food in the bottle before the other fish. I did get some metro and focus from my lfs though, so I will start feeding that later today. Hoping for the best.
 
Thanks for the advice, I will call some local stores and see if they have anything similar. I'll be sure to keep you all posted on my progress. Thanks for all the help.
 
Well, I was able to catch the wrasse Tuesday night and put him into QT, didn't look very good at all in there but was still eating small amounts. Checked him out yesterday before work and he looked fine hiding in his pvc tube. But unfortunately when I can home he was dead and stuck to the side of the power head. Thanks to all of those who helped. I guess I didn't notice this issue soon enough.
 
I'm sorry for your loss :(
