Any luck Laurie? If your skimmer hasn't gone crazy I guess that's a pretty good sign. The thing that's worrying me about my missing Canary is normally they never leave each others side so for the male to be swimming around for 3 days by himself is a little odd.

I'll look closely again all around the floor and in the tank/sump again tonight, but he never showed up last night. That is odd about your wrasse, I hope it turns up.

my yellow tang died, seen him kinda buried in the sand under a bunch of rocks the cleanup crew was working hard getting rid of the corpse.
a Week later my unicorn tang all 8 inches of it dissapeared that was 3 months ago my mistake i didnt dig for it. I had an ammonia spike killed the other tang
Dont make the same mistake I did if you find it Dig Dig Dig get it out if its dead before you get a spike btw sorry to hear about your tang missing

Damn, after reading this thread last night, my hawaiian flame wrasse is missing today >.> Hope it's a case of hiding wrasse. Don't really want to look too hard as he might be in the sand bed i guess. I hate when that happens >< Didn't knock on wood hard enough i guess.

My system is pretty big so even if he is dead I probably won't get a spike. When my toadfish fish died (which was 3 times the size of my naso) my water never spiked. However I did find his body late that night but he had been dead in my tank for a while.

I hope you find your wrasse.
