Lyretail Wrasse-does anyone have one?

[robzilla]

i've picked this fish from a fellow reefer

i think this guy is not doing good. from when i brought him home, he's buried himself in the sand and has stayed there. i've noticed him out in the rocks once but otherwise he stays buried in the sand. i just uncovered him, to see if he's alive, which he is but not very active.
sounds like this guy is "knocking on heavens door" (gnr is playing on the radio)
this guys should be swimming with the rest of the fish??

Normal behaviour for a wrasse. Give him a few days.

it looks like he has some fin damage or is that just the pic? I have a lunare wrasse and it is super active but he likes to hide in the sand. I would watch him closely but lunares are known to be pretty tough.

hi, well this afternoon, this guy has come out is swimming with the other fish.
he does have some tail fin damage, is this a sign of ?? do you think they'll grow back or ??

Healthy fish regrow damaged fins VERY quickly. Get him eating lots and often and he'll recover.
