Well, I cannot say for sure, but banded coral shrimp can attack fish. If he has a film of "light coloration", may be a parasite (although ich does not kill quickly); what behavior was the fish showing when it was "fine"?

The mystery wrasse was the boss of the tank. He'd swim all around in and out of rocks, he'd be a little skiddish of fast movements by people, but would always come out to eat. He loved mysis and dried pellets.

Well, with the minimal information supplied, I am guessing the coral banded shrimp got him.

Too little of info. Sounds like injury, possibly was spooked and wedged in the rocks, other than what snorvich mentioned. Espom salt will relieve the swelling.

Hmm, very well could be injury, as i was moving the aquarium while building a sump and the tank shook pretty good. He may have slammed into a rock or something :/
