Yellow corris wrasse

[Betex]

Morning/afternoon

I’ve had this wrasse for about 2 months and honestly don’t know if I am just seeing things or if there is something wrong.

For the last 2-3 weeks I noticed he dives to sand and looks like he’s scratching. I have seen what looks like a yawn as well. He’s got no spots anywhere and eyes are not cloudy. No other fish have any issues. He’s impossible to catch as well.

only thing I thought this could be is Flukes but really don’t want to treat my DT unless I know for sure so was hoping if anyone has seen this before and that perhaps it is normal?

If it is flukes or I hear that I should jsut treat it as flukes I just want to ensure I have the correct procedure:

- Dose PraziPro, Shut off UV, run skimmer without cup for oxygenation
- 24hrs after dose should be good to turn on skimmer/uv?
- Wait 4 days do 25% water change, redose prazi same procedure as 1st step,2?
- Lastly after 7 days of 2nd treatment should I do another water change?

thanks!!!

He may be trying to get food stirred out of the sand. My wrasses have done that. More of a flick to the sand or quick side swipe. Mine yawned all the time too. They lived to old age.
