HELP! Exquisite Wrasse & Swim Bladder

Need some help! I have an Esquisste Wrasse who is exhibiting signs of swim blatter. Have had him for about four weeks, he has acclimated well and sustained no injuries. Last night he starting struggling to swim, bobbing, flipping uncontrollably, and struggling to find balance. However, when...

My question is if the issue neurological do I need to restart my QT clock?
Is this contagious am I just waiting for the other 2 wrasses to get it or is it specific to Exquisite?
I am currently adding metroplex and focus to the food is that correct?

Here is my fish. It eats just fine and can swim upright when going after food. I do not think it is a swim bladder issue because it sinks when at rest.
Sorry pictures are bad because the tanks is pretty old and fogged over.

Thank you that sucks. I will put it out of it misery, I think restarting the clock on QT will be best as I can observe the other 2 closers.
