My wrasse loves to chase fish sometimes. He doesn't ever hurt them but he tries to bully them and then backs off when they snap at him. Anyway, he tried to chase my lawnmower blenny through a crack in the rocks and got stuck. I didn't notice until the next morning. I pulled the rocks apart so he could get free and he was obviously in shock. He slowly swam away to go hide. I turned off the lights to help him calm down but it hasn't helped.
It's now been 4 days and he won't come out. He constantly hides under a rock and looks at me but he won't come out and I don't know if he's eating. He is not gasping and there are no visible marks on his body. The other fish are still healthy but he is acting like he's so freaked out he may starve himself to death under this rock. He is the most stubborn fish I have ever seen and I don't know what to do. I'm afraid if I try to catch him he will die, plus I would literally have to tear the tank apart to get him while stressing the other fish.
He looks around while under the rock and he turns around, sometimes sticking his tail out instead of his nose. None of the other fish are bothering him but I'm not sure what to do. I don't want my fish to die of pigheadedness...
