Wrasse sometimes spazzing out?

[swolemermaid]

Added this wrasse yesterday to my reef tank. Eating and usually good but has had a few of these periods off spazz / twitching / freaking out like captured in the video. Any ideas what may be going on and is this normal? Thanks!

This wrasse ma have suffered from poor netting at LFS but behavior also resembles a neurological issue known as UNWD in which fish shows neurological symptoms where it either cannot swim well, swims tail down or swims with a bent spine and despite all this, the wrasse will still attempt to feed and display no damage such as crashing into objects. Other could be depending where fish is from, cyanide capture which is delayed but the fish ends up in this state

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

That is most likely the Unknown Neurological Wrasse Disease (UNWD). Sorry, but there is no known cure for that. I describe that in this article:

As said above this looks like (UNWD) I recently lost my flasher wrasse to this disease it really sucks. It might get to the point you need to euthanize this fish.
