Tri color fairy wrasse not looking good

[ChrisfromBrick]

ordered this fairy and it shipped very fast but the animal appeared to be stressed as i acclimated it. Saltwaterfish.com

SG in the bag was 018 and my tank water is 026, so i had a long road to get it up. I kept a slow drip and it took a few hours to raise it. When i got him in the tank he was out of energy and just sort of floated to the bottom almost sideways. I don’t think it will survive the night. Followed all their directions.

Fosh wasn’t cheap. I’m a bit upset.

now this morning i cant find him. Has a lid but he disappeared along with the tiny watchman goby i bought a week ago. No predators in the tank FYI.

Update- Rocky is alive and swimming with the other fish. Big weight off my shoulders. He came all the way across the country and looked horrible last night even after a long carefully attempted drip acclimation
