Sick Flasher Wrasse , what should I do?

[windcoast reefs]

Yeah it should be fine, make sure you get the temperature exactly the same.

I would do it for 3-5 minutes, watch the fish the entire time, if it starts to look really stressed then take it out. Its not gonna kill it, it should get rid of whatever is on it.

I always add a tiny bit of prime to the RO water and get the temp exactly the same. This will help reduce the shock.

[arash53]

yes exactly the same, 5min finished , put it in the container with my aquarium water. is it safe not to let it go or not?

[windcoast reefs]

I think your good to put it back in the tank.

is it breathing rapidly? its perfectly normal for fish to freak out or lay on their sides but just keep a watchful eye. he should perk up soon

Flasher wrasses will often "play dead" (laying on their side on the bottom of the container) when stressed.
