Bluehead Wrasse

[mswblw]

Hi! We are brand new to Saltwaterfish.com so bare with me. We received a delivery today and our wrasse is upside down. The acclimation paperwork included cut off where it was explaining about the behavior of the wrasse, and some other fish. The acclimation section of the website is now a "video". How long will this behavior continue? Should I be worried? Thanks!

Yes he's breathing...I thought I had read earlier on the acclimation section about some playing dead...I just didn't know how long they played dead!

my clown fairy wrasse played dead for 6 hours, breathing normal, etc, 4 years later he is doing well, good luck

Yep, just acclimate him as usual and give him some time. It may take hours.
