It is not my f***ing morning Potter Wrasse help

First woke to my Rw-4 not working so there goes my main circulation, and now my potters wrasse is acting up. Laying on his side and only breathing. Yes I know he sleeps on his side and under the sand but the lights have been on for about an hour. He will get up for a second and then continue to lay down. He looks perfectly healthy not super skinny or anything. I have had him for about a month now and he was always been an active swimmer. All my other fish are fine two clowns, a royal gramma, and a mandrian. All corals sps, lps, softies, nps have full polyp extension and look happy so whats wrong with my poor wrasse:( I also have a separate bucket I culture copepods and throw in the tank every other week for food.

Man, this sounds exactly like what happened when I lost my yellowtail tamarin. I never knew 100% for sure, but I attributed mine to some sort of internal parasite. You can try a freshwater dip and see how the potter responds to it.

he actually has been doing a lot better. starting swimming and scavenging for food again. My snowflake clown seems very concerned haha. Any time the wrasse goes into the corner behind the LR he joins him and waits for him to get back up.

You think? It was just the magnetic motor not work. He is doing a bit better today still doing a lot of laying down then I would prefer. Got 1 day shipping on my new Jebao so I have circulation again. Also I have great surface agitation along with chaeto growing in the rear filter chamber so I doubt it was oxygen.

I read that potters don't do well in captivity. Leopards I guess are the way to go

 

My friend at my LFS always have terrible luck with leopards but i hear they are eager eaters so i guess all i can say is good luck!

How long did you have yours?

 

I'm at just over 3 months with mine and it's still looking in perfect shape.
