I went to the local fish store and saw this blue star leopard wrasse cruising around the tank. He looked really healthy. So I picked him up and dropped him straight to my display tank as my QT does not have any sand in it. He burrowed right away. I woke up next day and I saw the wrasse cruising around my tank. I gave him some live blackworms and mysis shrimp. He ate both right away. He has been active and was eating well. Five days later, I felt like he is not as active. He was still eating fine. The next day, he did not come out from the sand then, I found him dead next day. I am really shocked how this could happened.... I do have another kind of leopard wrasse in the tank that I had for 2+ years, he was bullying him initially, but nothing serious. Normally, I have good sense of why my fish is dead, but clueless on this one. I have 17 fishes in this tank and this is my second loss. The most aggressive fish in the tank is my male Lyretail Anthias who usually leaves wrasses alone.
