paralyzed yellow wrasse

last night i noticed a big plume of sand caused by my yellow wrasse, which isnt anything abnormal, but after he kind of floated around in the current looked liked he was paralyzed, no moving from pelvic fins back. today he is moving around the tank well but looks like he is swimming with only his pectoral fins. doenst looked stressed, and is eating normal,

any thoughts????

 

oh yeah forgot,

parameters are good,
other tank mates are:

melanurous wrasse (never seen any aggression between the 2)
firefish goby
cleaner shrimp
open brain
large zoa colony

its a 55 gallon

 

Sounds like it banged into something try to bed down in the sand. Keep watch over it and make sure no one picks on it. Good luck

 

yeah thats kinda what i was thinking, hope he shakes it off

 

been a little while. i actually forgot i started a thread on this:

yellow wrasse is fine. slowly started swimming normal over the last couple weeks. never stopped eating.

(for any future googlers)

 

Fantastic, great to hear

 

Sounds like a deep sand bed is a good idea with that type of wrasse.

 

yeah definitly need a deep sand bed. the yellow and my melanurous wrasse sleep in the sand. i have about 4 inch average depth. they leave no trace when they dive in.
