Hovens wrasse and copper

[Jgro1413]

So tonight I took home a new wrasse and I put him into a tank with cupramine, I just started researching and found that hovens wrasses don't do well in copper? Will he be okay ? I'm freaking out a little. Thanks!

Wrasses are sensitive to sudden increases in copper. Keep a very close eye on him. If he refuses to eat for more than a couple of days I'd pull him and put him in a tank with no copper and slowly raise the copper to therapeutic over 7 days.

Crud I kind of Introduced him when the tank was already at a high copper level, I'll monitor today and if he doesn't look good ill have to remove him, thanks for your help
