Hello! I’ve had this Pygmy wrasse for a few months now. Everything’s been fine up until a few days ago. I couldn’t find her anywhere. Last night, I saw that she attached herself to the side of a rock. I assumed she was sleeping, so I left her alone. She’s usually out and about in the morning, but she’s in the same place as she was last night. I poked her and she moved to the live rock. After a while, she was back in that spot. Does anyone know what’s going on? I’m getting my water tested today, but everything should be normal. The clownfish and goby/pistol shrimp are all acting normally. All of my coral is doing amazing.

EDIT: Seems like she’s just moving back and forth between that spot and the other. @Humblefish You’ve helped me before, I believe. It was with a fang blenny issue. I’d appreciate it if you could help out. Thank you! I’m going to my LFS today to ask for help as well. I was planning on getting a new fish for this tank after the blenny died. I’ve got the quarantine set up. I just don’t know what to do about the wrasse.

Have you recently added anything to the tank?

Is the fish eating at all?

Nothing has been added to the tank for about three months. I previously had an issue with internal parasites, which caused my blenny to die. However, I treated the entire tank for it and haven’t had issues since then. I fed the tank a few days ago and she wasn’t out to eat any of it. I didn’t know where she was at the time, but I’m assuming she was in this spot. I think if she was able to see the food, she’d eat it. She’s always been a good eater. Her feces has always been normal as well.
