Happy holidays everyone! Hope anyone may be able to put me to easy with my questions. I bought a yellow wrasse yesterday that had a few bite marks and bruising on one of its sides before I got him. I properly drip acclimated him and than performed a rapid quarantine using safety stop. Everything looked great when I put him in the DT till I noticed early this morning he was dead on the sand bed. Any ideas?? Should I worry about my other fish? I don’t really think it was my other fish as they are small and really timid. I have 2 small green dragonets and 2 clownfish
Here are some photos of the wrasse.

Bite mark?

Looks more like uronema to me, but I am certainly no expert.
Thanks for the heads up! Seeing how short of a time period it was in my tank for, do I need to worry about my other fish?
 
I am very far removed from an expert; an over paranoid newbie at best, which sent me head-deep into QT research ahead of getting my first fish. From my recent research looks like Uronema.

Posts like this is the reason why I'm going to be QTing everything no matter where it comes from.

Sorry for your loss brother.
