Just picked up a sixline wrasse and will acclimating him into a quarantine for a few weeks. Questions that I need to know are in the event that it develops ich, will it be safe to treat with coppersafe? Second, he's got this mucus-like stuff in the bag that i noticed, any idea what they could be? My roommate mentioned that he thought that they release this "slime" stuff before sleeping? Please and thanks.

Some wrasses release a slime cocoon when they sleep, I was not aware that sixlines were one of those kind
As to the coppersafe, a sixline is a fish, and as such, should be fine with the coppersafe. We personally have no experience with that treatment medication, so I can't really say what is/isn't safe to use outside of it being unsafe for use as an in tank treatment in a reef tank and that any animal treated with it should be thoroughly rinsed before being put into a reef tank.
