Actually, I had a Wrasse. I got him the same day I got the Chromis he died a few weeks after that. I also had another fish he was small and he was yellow and magenta I think he died too but I can't find his body and I didn't see him when I cleaned my tank last week so. Do you think they died of Uronema?
Can’t say, did they have the same lesions? The other fish was probably a dottyback or total gramma, I’ve not seen Uronema on those species before.
It really helps to buy fish that have been at the store for at least 2 weeks, 4 is better, then quarantine them properly when you take them home.

This is the "yellow and magenta" fish I was talking about.

Yeah, it's a bummer when you get a new fish and have to put him in quarantine. Total buzzkill.

Also, does Uronema cause lots of algae to appear? Just wondering.
No - there is no correlation between algae growth and Uronema...just coincidental.
