What is this floater ?and is something wrong with my wrasse ?

Is this a pest floating in my tank ? And my new wrasse is just sitting here making a slime trail is there something wrong with him? Any help appreciated

The floater looks like it may be a nudibranch. If you can suck it up and get a closer pic then we might be able to better confirm. Some wrasse will form a mucus cocoon to sleep in, it looks like that is what’s going on with yours.

It got sucked into my filtration . This is my first tank and the wrasse is brand new . I don’t have a quarantine tank so he went right in after acclimation a few days ago . Do nudibranchs travel on fish?

I’ve never heard of that happening but I guess anything is possible.

Haven’t heard of nudibranches floating in water either but it does look like one. I guess we may never know since it got sucked up. Just keep an eye out for more.
