I haven't seen my juvenile orange shouldered tang in a few days, and cant seem to locate it in the rockwork. He was about 2" the last time i had a photo of him. He didn't show any signs of illness, and the other fishes seem fine. Should I tear apart rockwork and find the lost soul or just keep testing ammonia and do water changes as needed? Lots of acro and Monti colonies would need to be destroyed/fragged if the rock had to be moved.

Sorry about your fish. I would not tear apart the tank, but keep an eye on ammonia. If your tank is very small you might have to find him though. If you have cuc they have probably done their job.

Thanks for the reinforcement, thats what i wanted to do. CUC is extensive and it is a 110 gallon system.
