Default Where's my mystery wrasse??

Added a mystery wrasse on boxing day, saw him after he went into tank and next day, has not been seen since. No idea if he's eating, if he was a meal for my mini maxi nem who looked a bit fattish yesterday, or what? Not on the floor...is he just gone! Should I give it more time??

Some Wrasses sleep inside the sand.
Chances are hes just hiding out and waiting.

There could be other reasons why he stays in the sand, but since he is new this shouldn't happen for long.
If he is being chased or picked on he can also hide out.
I just moved all my fish to a 29 gallon bio cube and i havnet seen my yellow coris since yesterday.
He used to hide always till i added more fish.

I went back to that thread Marko, lol, made me feel a bit better, I've just never had a fish disappear on me...

When he went in the tank, there was no drama from the other fish, was quite peaceful actually. He flared up for the shrimp, solar wrasse and gramma and my female clown just made sure he stayed away from her frogspawn...but he really didn't seem to mind.

Will see if he pops out...soon I hope!

if you don't have a cover, you might think about getting one.
wrasses love to jump.
I don't believe mystery wrasses burrow in sand.
but they do like to hide until they feel comfortable.
hope everything works out for ya.

I just bought eggcrate yesterday just have to cut it. My solar wrasse sleeps under the rocks, not sure if he burrows or not. I'm sure he's fine just getting settled...the last fish that died in my tank, the only reason we knew he died was we found a fin...guess my cuc does a good job. thanks for the feedback!
