I'm very sorry for the loss of your wrasse and gramma... They're both charming, beautiful fish.
Carbon needs to be out of your filter while there are medications in the water as a general rule, and if you've got a skimmer on the tank, shut that down while dosing Prazi-Pro. I should think that floss can stay.
Your description of the wrasse's swimming suggests that he may have sustained a spinal injury during whatever excitement took both of their lives . . .

I'm sorry to be too late here. for the future, this does sound like a fight happened which opened the door to infection. There are gram negative bacteria that act very quickly and can kill faster than velvet. Royal grammas have the potential to be very aggressive (though not all of them act that way) and can do some serious damage despite their size.
It sounds like their injuries were too great to overcome, combined with an infection setting in quickly at the end. Next time you have an injury, right off the bat you can do a Methyline Blue dip to help heal. Acryflavin is good for a dip is good for first aid and helping to ward off infection some.
I hope that helps in the future. I'm very sorry for the losses.

As you learn things will get easier for you. They may never be easy but they will get easier. Try to take a moment every day to just sit and watch your tank. You'll find all kinds of things to be happy about in there even with the other problems that might arise. The more you learn about these things the better prepared you'll be the next time a problem comes along. I'm sorry for the troubles you've experienced so far. The next time you start up your QT, feel free to post here to get some guidance. You can tell us what kinds of fish, the QT plan and any symptoms you might already be seeing and we can help you adjust your plan accordingly. We don't mind walking with you through the process at all.
