Exact process I used for the last fish I bought. It killed everything.

Although I was tempted to just add it(wrasse), I had to remember the three days it took to kill all 12 or so of my prized fish. I added a perfectly healthy looking fish, but looks aren't everything.
Adding that one last fish to your tank and finding that it carries Marine Velvet is a sad way to finish off your stocking list.

The lesson I learned with this wrasse was to have a QT up and running properly before getting it. If you're not ready yet, wait on this one and order one when you are ready.
