Hey all,

So my SO bought a very striking red fin fairy wrasse (pretty sure she's female) home from the LFS on Saturday. I currently have her in QT. She spends most of her time hiding in the live rock in there, which I figure is normal, and pops out to swim around a couple times a day when she thinks I'm not looking.

She was noticeably skinny in the bag and she doesn't appear to be eating. I have tried a wide variety of frozen foods with no luck. I suspect she never ate while she was at the LFS. It's only been a few days, but she's getting more and more lethargic.

Does anyone have recommendations for what I can try to get her eating?

Thanks!

I tried LRS reef frenzy, SF Bay Marine Cuisine, frozen brine, and frozen mysis. A few days ago I spotted some stringy white poop, so I started dosing PraziPro, but I think I was too late. She passed last night. :(

Thank you for the help anyways!
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
