Let's hope and pray that's what happens with mine. The thought of him being stuck somewhere slowly dying or dead already is really worrying and upsetting me

Time to through on a set of flippers and a mask and go swimming with the fish don't forget the snorkel. LOL just joking. But it might be an idea to put on a mask and see what you can see from the top down.

Flippers and a mask sounds about right I have a Super spy coral viewer which makes it easy to look at the tank from the top down. I looked top down from standing on the ladder with a flashlight but I forgot about the viewer, I will try it out tomorrow when the tank lights go on.

Just thought I'd update as it was a week ago that I first noticed my naso missing.
Unfortunately he never showed up and there has been no signs of him in or out of the tank I did have a bit of a cyano break out a few days after I noticed him missing (it's since cleared up) so maybe he died and the cyano was from that Wish I knew what happened

I'm really sorry to hear that Laurie.
I've asked it before, but are you 100 thousand percent, million-billion percent, sure that he's not in your overflow(s) ?? I can't tell you how many times I've been fooled myself by fish hiding in the overflows. The slightest bit of coraline and the lack of light makes for impeccable hiding/camoflage opportunities. You'd think, for example, that I would have noticed my trigger in there when he was in there ... no word of a lie I checked it *10* times and each time concluded "there is no fish in here" and then poof, that night I caught a glimpse of him when he allowed himself to be seen. The flip side of the coin is I lost a sizable rabbitfish back in September and it was the same thing, just mysterious disappearance. I scoped and scoped and scoped my rock and finally caught a glimpse of something I hadn't seen before and could not identify. I had to take apart a good quarter of my rockwork to get at it and then I could identify it as a fish-shaped pile of goo that used to be the rabbitfish. I had seen him the night before so less than 24 hours and yet he was in a surprisingly fairly advanced state of decomposition. No colour whatsoever .. totally blended into the rock and in a spot I would never have guessed a 6" fish could have fit into (either dead or alive). Anyhow I'm very sorry for the loss if that is indeed the case.

Unfortunately Tony I'm sure it's the later. My overflow is very small in that tank, and while it is covered in coraline when I stand on a latter and look in I can see everything in it, as it's not deep enough to really hide a fish. As you can sort of see it's just a small box on the side of the tank.
