    This is a pic of my Carpenter Wrasse right now. What do you guys think. Is he being picked on or is it some parasite?

    All other fish are doing ok? How long have you had the C. wrasse for? Eating is a good sign but deffinantly looks stressed or spooked for some reason.

    i agree he looks stressed. his color is normal for a stressed wrasse.

    I have had him 2 weeks. I put some food in the bottom corner where he was but he did not get it. Now he moved and I cant see him. Maybe its the Flame Hawk. Before he was hiding he looked great no rips/tears or anything.

    He looked to be breathing normal. His coloring looked much better about 10 mins after I took that pic. He hid again now I don't know

    All other fish are doing good. I know that you cant mix a basslet with a Faity Wrasse becasue they are too territorial but since the Hawkfish is pretty docile I thought it was ok. I never say any other fish bother it. Could aiptasia cause this?
