Wrasse troubles

[timnnell]

I have a few wrasse in my tank: radiant, divided leopard, McCosker's, and a chistletooth. A couple days ago I didn't see the leopard. Then the McCosker's. Now my chistletooth is acting funny. None of the others showed any signs of sickness. They were all fat, except for the divided, and all got along fine. I can still see that the chistletooth is alive. I saw him yesterday just lying on the bottom. I thought he was a gonner. But when I went to take him out of the tank, he darted off and went to another area and just partially burried himself again. Then this morning I looked and he moved again. Still just laying on the top of the sand. I can see him breathing. This just has my puzzled and angry at the same time. Don't know what to do, if there is anything I can do. No one in the tank has been fighting, as far as I've seen. And like I said before there are no signs of sickness or bodily damage. I checked the water and everything checked out great. All of these fish were always out all of the time. I just don't know what to do or even think. Please help!

other tank mates?
who was added first?
i have a feeling that the radiant could be picking on the others, they sometimes can do that.
your devided is a hard fish to keep in a reef system, what were you feeding it? how long has that tank been up for?
the chisle tooth sounds like flukes, the way he is breathing.

The only other tankmate is a haw. yellow tang. I look at my tank alot. And not to say it's impossible, but I think it's very unlikely anyone was getting picking on. Flukes? you mean a parasite? yuck. I don't see any outward signs of sickness, even now. Just went from everyone's happy and healthy... to evidentally loosing the divided then the McCosker's and now watching my little baby chistletooth lying on the ground just breathing. Not fast or gasping... just breating, perfectly normally. Just not acting normal by any means. Should I try a freshwater dip? Or will this just finish off the fish? I've been doing this a while, and I'm just not to sure that it's parasites or a fungal infection. I dunno it just kinda bums me out a bit. The worst part is that everyone is absolutely fine one minute, than BAM gone, gone, dieing.

 

[buzzbombtom]

well it could be a parasite i believe spelled fluke that lives on the gills, nearly impossible in my experiences getting rid of it.

 

[timnnell]

nevermind he's a gonner. Well still have the radiant and the tang. Hope it stops here. Got a pair of clowns in the fuge too.

 

[buzzbombtom]

are they acting odd at all? watch them closely if they start to act odd at all dose them fast.

 

[timnnell]

Nope everyone's been acting fine. That's the thing it's weird no sign, then bam dead. I mean this isn't exactly my first time trying different things in a tank. But I'll keep an eye on em for sure. Just still hoping it stops there.

Do a FW dip on the ones that are left and look for flukes. They look like small oval "jelly" like things.
