I picked up two rhomboid wrasses exactly 1 week ago friday they lasted two days and gone ....chalked it up to just what ever that's how it goes sometimes....then tuesday my lg male flame wrasse is down and out overnight crab food then wed a smaller male flame wrasse is breathing heavy and just sitting on the bottom ...i knew he was a goner and sure enough thursday morning crab meat ...then thursday night my pink diamond spotted goby a floater and all bloated ....gone ......now this on the side if my blond nasso tang *** one spot on his fin and one on side ....looks like small white soft glue patch ...damn

Eats like a champ if you cant tell from the size....eats pellets, brine, mysis, veggies, cyclopleese, blood worms on a daily basis and is usually swimming everywhere but a little slowed today.....tank does have 2 150w uvs although this might assist with certain things in the water column its prolly just a wait and see at this point....can't add anything to the dt its a reef and a 540 so he aint coming out easy

Could be Brooklynella, based on timelines and rapid fish death. Only other pathogen that kills that quickly is velvet, but physical symptoms are not consistent with velvet. The Rhomboids were not quarantined, correct?
 
Last wet item was an acro that was dipped twice for 20 min in Me coral dip and then rinsed both times last sunday .....wrasses went in fri night and were dead one on sat and one on sun night.......I have many wrasses in this tank 40+ and 13 clowns, few dwarf angles, blonde, hippo, and foxface tang, pairs of sunburst and lyretail anthias, few blennys and all are just fine no symptoms of anything .....rhomboids were not qt....
 
Even brook shouldn't kill established and so far healthy fish this fast unless the fish were already weakened by something else.

One of the local stores here just has an completely out of control outbreak of almost everything there is: Ich, Brook and Velvet - all together with likely also some bacteria and other bugs (That's what you get if you dump all new fish into your coral tanks without quarantine or the possibility to treat).
But even there the fish don't die that quickly but it rather took several weeks of visible symptoms to reach a point where even fish they had for long are dying.
