Should I be worried about my wrasse?

[Augie P]

I added a leopard wrasse and a radiant wrasse together in my 120 display. Both were acclimated perfectly and were even eating while being acclimated. I placed them both in on Friday afternoon and they were both out cruising around and even eating frozen mysid. I haven’t seen ether one of them since. I know they hide in the sand and can for up to a period of weeks but should I be worried they didn’t make it? I tested my water and nothing is off or showed elevated signs that a fish has died. I’ve even checked the tank around 2am and can’t seem to find any signs of them. They don’t have any aggressive tank mates or anything close to their size. The only thing in the tank besides them are two premium snowflake clowns, clown goby, 3 chromis, a Midas blenny and a mandarin. Just looking for any advice that could help, thanks!

If Leopard wrasse is the question, you should be fine. They usually dive down in the sand when first introduced in the tank. Mine did the same thing for about four days. People say hold out till about 14th day mark before considering them gone.

Crossing fingers for you as well. Hopefully both come soon.

I hope theyll come out soon. Light acclimation can be tricky if they came from a different time zone as well

The leopard came out this morning, still waiting on the radiant to make an appearance but I think this is a very good sign!
