What happened?

I've had my Melanurus Wrasse for about 3 weeks now and he's been doing really great as far as I know. When I first put him in the tank, my coral beauty didn't take to him very well. They chased each other around awhile, but my coral beauty does that to every new fish I add. He usually quits bothering them in a couple of days, and this was the case. I haven't seen them chase or even bother each other since. I do notice my wrasse seems to love sleeping in the sand. He goes in it at night and doesn't come out until around 12 in the afternoon. Yesterday he was out and I didn't notice anything different about him really. But I also didn't look up close. I do know he hasn't had this for more than a couple days. Does it look like he hurt himself burying in the sand under my rocks? Or did something attack him? Or does it look like a disease? All my other fish are doing just fine and even the wrasse doesn't seem to be bothered by it, he ate just fine a few minutes ago. Anyone have any ideas?

That could have happened. He dives pretty hard whenever he goes into it. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a disease or anything. He's back into the sand again for the night. I hope it doesn't make it worse :(
