It could also be fin rot, which is due to poor water conditions. My Flame Wrasse had a bit of that when I neglected my usual WC schedule. Try doing a 30% to 50% WC and then feeding with vitamin enriched foods?

Was there anything added recently? how long do you have this wrasse?

It could be anything really, from marine velvet to a bacterial infection. Hard to say without photo and without knowing when was the last addition to the tank.

Nothing has changed for months, I've had the wrasse @ 2 years, haven't added fish for over a year, all other fish are OK

I'm trying to get a decent photo, my son has an Iphone 5, waiting for him to come over. Takes better pics than my DSLR.

My water quality is pristine and I enrich my foods with selcon, garlic and dose vitamin c weekly. I think my yellow tang has been stressing him out lately.
