Is this fish sick?
Hi everyone, long story short I purchased this orange back fairy wrasse from LA.
The colors are a FAR cry from many photos I have seen of this fish. My specimens colors are muted, almost mottled. Even though I am unhappy with his looks he is in my QT and if he is healthy, I don’t plan on flushing him because he’s not colorful enough. My only concern is if his appearance is due to some sort of illness. He’s currently in week 2 of Qt with a royal gramma and shrimp goby. What do you guys think?
