I came home from work today and every wrasse in my tank iOS laying on the bottom. The rest of my fish are swimming but seem irritated. So far I e unplugged everything in my tank including return pumps. I'm thinking stray voltage but really have no idea. Getting a water change going because Its in need and I'm at a loss. Any ideas would be great.
 
Took my water to a LFS and they said the results were perfect. I know they use cheap test kits but mine are all out dated. I did check my alk and it was a little low 7.8
Wrasses are still lying on the bottom.
 
Did you add any medications or other additives to the tank?
Did anybody use aerosols (paint spray, hairspray,...) or solvents in the house?
How do the other fish behave?
Any fast breathing?
 
Other fish seem ok. I fed the tank food I e always fed instead of the new stuff and got the normal response except for the wrasses which are all hidden or laying on the bottom. Except for a juvenile harlequin tusk who seems fine. The tank is a 315 mixed reef with around 20 fish with 10 of the. Being wrasses. I have a bunch of basically large frags of SPS ,Lps, and 2 anemones( H.mag and Carpet Gig). And they all seem fine. Weird.
 
Wrasses still laying on the bottom . Still no idea. Rechecked salinity with new probe. So far everything is spot on.
 
I don't see any aggression.

Holy cow at that stocking list. How big is the tank? I am going with aggression issues on this one too. Flame Angels can be really mean to wrasses.
 
Ok the flame is a PIA but I e been at this for 25+ years and have never seen one put so many fish in a corner . The tank is a 315 gal mixed reef with SPS and H mag and gig carpet anemone. So I would assume water quality would be good just based on the anemones looking good. The wrasses seem almost drunk moving around from time to time but very little strength. I haven't been able to turn my power heads on yet for fear of the fish sticking to them. Sorry I haven't updated my profile in some time.
 
No on the prazi? I do have it on hand. Burgess is pretty good so far. I say pretty good because I've only notice him pic a drag of Blastos. There are some other pieces in my tank that get nibbled but I haven't seen who's doin it.
