Sick line wrasse disease ID

[Vsrt17]

I got a six line wrasse last week and got home to him stuck to the filter barely moving plus some odd stuff all over the tank. I haven't treated him at all yet but I have copper and prazipro on hand.

Any help appreciated

Why do you think it's sick? Getting stuck in filter could because of high suction/flow of the filter. Any other symptoms?

Yeah the specks all over the tank appear to be from him and he has a hard time staying up right.

You need to take a close up shot. Is it eating anyhting? Flashing/rubbing itself againt pvc pipe/pump etc? Wrasses don't get ich quickly but are not entirely immune. In any case u need to get a close up pic if u can without forcing it out of hiding. Let it settle a bit. Keep the lights dim.once it starts swimming then take a pic.

If u can find baby brine shrimp (live) from an lfs then get them. If u can make it start eating it will be more comfortable. maybe the spots are just stress reaction.

He's breathing heavily

It was swimming really well and eating frozen shrimp about 30min before I found him stuck to the filter which I'd rated at 80gph which I don't believe is too strong plus the tank was spotless and there is now what looks to be his scales all over. I checked and there is close to no ammonia or nitrites. And salinity at 1.025

Ammonia has to be zero. I would put an air stone instead of a wavemaker. Air stone will keep moving the water enough for such a small fish.
Btw I don't see any white spots related to ich/velvet. May be the pic is still dark.
Use burst mode to take some pics. If u have melafix then add half the dose as suggested and aerate the water. Methylene blue is said to cause relief as well but I haven't used it myself.

Thanks for all the suggestions, he is currently upside down but still breathing. I won't be able to get any new medication until tomorrow when the LFS opens. Hopefully he makes it.

Hes prob a goner. Imagine being stuck to something thats pulling you're oxygen straight out of you. Its nothing to do with disease.
