A fish can probably go anywhere from a couple of weeks to as much as 6 weeks before it would starve to death, depending on the size of the fish and its original condition. However, if the fish doesn't eat in around 10-14 days, ireversible damage will have been done to its intestinal tract and the fish will most likely die even if it were to start feeding. All through this time the fish will swim normally.

I recommend you get some live adult brine shrimp and try that. You could also get some brine shrimp cysts and hatch them yourself and feed the nauplii to the wrasse.
