help sixline acing funny

[[17]shawn[17]]

I recently was looking at my tank and I noticed my six line was over on its side by my pink tip when my cleaner shrimp would get close to it would swim away and go back on its side then it went in to the rock work its looks liked like it was out of the water the ay it was breathing any idea what could of happened or is happening

was this at night by any chance? Or was it kinda in the evening when the fish might have been going to sleep?

The reason i ask is because sixline wrasses lay on the sand at night and somehow get a slimey cocoon around them. Kinda hard to explain but you'll know what i'm talkin about when you see slimey stuff covering it...its kinda clear. But they do it every night (i think anyways..) and its just a protective...something lol.

But i'm thinking that maybe he was getting ready for bed? I know that mine kinda breaths hard when he's makin the cocoon. I think (but i'm not sure on this one) that they spit the mucus stuff out of their mouths, so maybe he was just trying to get the goo out? lol

This would also explain him running from the cleaner shrimp...he was tryin to sleep and didnt wanna be bothered i guess.
