Wrasse sensitive to copper?

I've quarantined many fish with Cupramine Copper before, including Tangs, Anthias, and Clownfish, though I've never quarantined a wrasse. I've read that they are sensitive to medication, particularly copper, is this true? I really want to treat the Sunburst Anthias and Solar Wrasse I have in my QT right now with the usual dose of Cupramine Copper but don't want to if there is a high risk of the wrasse dying. This is being done prophylactically, I've just finished treating them with PraziPro. No signs of disease have been evident.
 
In my experience anthias are more delicate then wrasses. if your anthias made it your wrasses "should" be fine. Every fish is diff and tolerates diff levels. Also keep in mind that cupramine is not as harash as straight copper. It is a diff form of copper that fish can tolerate a bit better.
