So those of you who obtain high end wrasse do you QT the fish? Some folks say no need to QT as they are very sensitive to medications.
I have a rhomboid in my QT fish just came in to the LFS two days ago. It is doing well in my QT copper is at 0.3. Fish is eating well. Start to pick at pellet as well. I figure i will keep it in QT for 14 to 21 days
Just curious as what others do with fairy wrasses. QT or not.?

I usually qt the fish as well but don't use copper either. I haven't had a problem with ich or anything like that. Glad to hear your fish arrived alive and is doing ok. Mine is on its way here now!! Picking up first thing in the morning and really excited. Set up a 30 breeder for it with some rock and pvc to hide in and a tight fitting lid

Indeed.
Basically any wrasse that isn't a sand sleeper.
You're not looking hard enough.
In fairness, they're pretty transparent and not always easy to distinguish at night.I could take a picture of the piece of PVC he's hiding behind...
Do as I say and not as I do in this department, but always QT.
I'm QT'ing this fish, but that's only because NYA isn't a source I have not purchased from (ie - I don't know what their standard protocols are).
Same here; photos are not feasible yet.
And I'm also of the feeling cooper can be quite hard on wrasses. Prazi is always a good idea however.
My QT is a 10g tank with a few pieces of PVC, a HOB filter, and a tight fitting lid. Very simple.I usually qt the fish as well but don't use copper either.

Love The Fish
I noticed that yesterday, I still wonder how many came in. I keep waiting for them to pop up other places like the eightlines did.
So 7 are still alive and kicking I hope. I thought someone said they lost one of theirs.

What happened? Mine looked pretty rough in the shipping bag this morning. Did about a 45 minute acclimation and put him in the qt tank by himself with lots of PVC and a few pieces of rock. Keeping my fingers crossed but the fish was laying on its side with labored breathing and was pretty small at about 2.5 inches.
