Blind mystery wrasse?

[alexrex20]

I've had this mystery wrasse for a few months now. Up until this morning it's been a very healthy, very active fish with a big appetite (for my CUC). This morning it is swimming around on the bottom and bumping into everything in its path. It seems to be blind, though looks otherwise fine. It's not breathing heavy or anything.


Any ideas?

could you make a video? he could be scraping on the sand and rocks.

I'll try and get one, but it seems to have disappeared for now. He's definitely not scraping/scratching on the sand/rocks. I've seen it do that many times before. This is definitely different.

I did a little more research and this kind of behavior is supposedly "normal" for wrasses that just woke up. My lights usually stay off until 4pm(!) because I work nights, but I'm off today and opened the blinds at 9am. Maybe the wrasse is still half-asleep?
