Ok, so before I went away I had put a cleaner wrasse in my tank.
After getting home, I did a 3am checkup which included a top up, feeding and neatening up of corals which had been knocked off by my starfish and 2 urchins.
Everything seemed great until I saw my wrasse between two rocks with no color, after moving the rocks, he swam away after nipping at me. I saw him then head under my acro. This morning after the lights came on, I could still see him under the acro and he was still looking pale. When i moved the acro he limped off looking like he was struggling to swim, swimming horizontally (side facing the top of the tank) and disappeared to the back, His actions sound as though he has been stung by something or beat up, but the nem is the only thing that could sting him, and he seemed to be the one picking on the foxface before i left, and he is fine.
So interesting, ill try get a picture, im at uni at the moment so im hoping when I get home he will be well.
thanks for any ideas :sfish:
