I was buying a fish from J&L a while back. I spent about 30 to 45 minutes deciding which fish was the best of the bunch. After deciding which fish I wanted John came over to net the fish I had decided on. The netting went reasonably well. While the fish was in the net it went crazy. John put the fish into a bag and it now looked like the letter "L". It was like it had a cramp and never recovered.

Fairy wrasses are amazingly sensitive fish, i.e., it probably is like a heart attack or something.
 I imagine there's a lot of mortality during importing, all I've ever heard is that they "don't ship well."Sorry to hear of your loss.

Wow. Sorry to hear about these losses
 Had our solarensis fairy wrasse in a 20g loaded with extra LR from our 120g for two weeks while we cleaned, sterilized and refilled the 120g. Poor fish got totally freaked when all the rock was removed from the 20g and I was trying to net it. Luckily, it calmed down just prior to netting, and is now back safely in the 120g.

When fish go into rigormortis it really creeps me out. I have have two wrasses now bury themselves in the sand when they died and you could only see part of there tail sticking straight up in the air. trying to pull them out completely creeped me out.
