I was feeding my lps tonight. So i turned all my powerheads and return pump. I fed my chalices and favias the zoa/lps fauna marin food, i fed alot as i have alot of corals. After a little over 30 minutes i can hear the water splashing and my mysterry wrasse is spazzing, out like the kind when its out of air and cant breathe, it is sitting on one of my frag racks resting, breathing heavy, does anyone know why? its the only fish that did it, my other fish were fine. So i turned back all my pumps to circulate more oxygen in the tank...any thoughts?

no, not anymore it has resumed normal breathing but i have no idea what caused it to do that in the first place. I have been feeding nightly my corals for a long time and my other fish has had no problem. The mystery wrasse i just added maybe 2-3 weeks i ago that i bought from FJW, and this is the second time its done that when i fed turning of all pumps. I have no idea the reason for it as during the day its all swimming around fine.

some fish get really bothered in the night when they are supposed to be resting or sleeping. have you ever turned on your lights randomly in the night and then you see a fish act really weird like hes dazed and confused.

my wrasse did that every once in a while.
