Is my Longfin Fairy Wrasse okay?

[bubba005]

I got my Longfin fairy wrasse two days ago. He has been eating and active, but I just went to check on him in quarantine and he was resting on the bottom and almost completely white. Is he sick and if so, what can I do for him? The first picture is from today and the second one is him at the store.

What are the qt tank parameters? Any ammonia readings?

Ammonia and nitrite were zero. Ph was about 8. He perked up a bit and regained his color and ate his dinner shortly after this, so I assume he may have been sleeping?

Possibly, just keep a close eye on him and let us know

Probably sleeping but QT tanks have all kinds of issues on their own with weird water quality problems and of course unpleasant & stressful environments for fish.

He could be sleeping. Usually wrasses go under the sand to sleep
