Snappy,
Pencil wrasses are very difficult to keep so what happened to you pencial wrasse is consistent with what happens to them in captivity.
Here is what Fenner has to say about them.

"The eight species of "Pencil Wrasses" are of the "ultra-advanced" reef keeper’s domain (3’s). These fishes define the word "touchy" with most dying in transit from the wild or mysteriously "overnight". Males of the species are colorful, whereas the females of all species are generally uniformly orangish in color. Other unidentified Pseudojuloides are appearing in the trade as time goes by. Be wary of these "Pencils"; they’re unpredictably sensitive as well."

Please don't replace her.
Thanks
