I moved him over to his new home last night which is a well established 220g fish only. All fish are very healthy and there is no aggression. This morning he is swimming around, eating mysis and pellets and it looks like the other fish have welcomed him, the problem is he has some ick , is it stess of the move, will it go away, will the others get it, any thoughts?

You need to do your due diligence before you buy the fish. This wrasse goes to 6 or more inches and need to be in a tank more than double the sise. If the lfs knew you have a tiny tank and sold you the fish anyway return the fish to the lfs for a full credit and get something suitable for it size.
If your wrasse is eating, feed it garlic soaked foods with some selcon. Dry is better because it absorbs the garlic,
Feef very often and only garlic soaked food as the idea is to get as much into the fish in the shortest amount of time as possible.
Good luck
