I would try to get the Alk steady but keep it at around 7dKH. If you are using pellets or carbon dosing combined with a high alk it can lead to coral tissue recession.
Is your tank open top as wrasses like to carpet surf? They usually land in the hardest spot to find them behind the tank... Murphy's law. If you had a temperature spike combined with a new fish addition I would watch the other fish for signs of Ick or Velvet. Cheers, Tim

Hi Tim
 The issue with the Alk is that new batch salt water for water changes comes out at 9DKH which is why I was trying to aim for higher but I'm having an issue finding out a regular dosing schedule since it seems so random to me. 2 hours after a WC DKH is at 9 24 hrs later it's at 7DKH then it varies between using up .5-1 DKH/day... Cal only dropped 20ppm in a week and Mag 40ppm. What would you suggest with those results? I went against dosing anything but cal, alk and mag until I have those steady. I'm thinking it's alk swings more than anything. The back of the canopy is a wide open space...  Darn he was gorgeous!!! I'll be sure to add a screen before we try again.All the other fish are doing perfectly. Thanks! Stef
