Added a few others at the same time (Lubbock fairy, pintail fairy), and already had an established melanaurus. The Mel never even looked twice at the coris, actually swam together.
Check overflow, sump and I hate to say, even the floor around the tank. While they are great hiders, food almost always brings them out
No sump and haven't seen it anywhere around the tank
I think mine was gone for 5 days when I first got him.
Yeah he only hid for around an hour. Been out since other than sleeping. Hence my worry suddenly
We've just got 3 Tidal hobs. Wonder if it could have jumped in, but it'd be pretty blocked by the media
If it's not impossible, it's possible.
Have you noticed if he was transitioning at all?
No I didn't.... He was probably only 2" or less? Pretty small one
I could always see them in our qt. In our main though, we laid down those black plastic sheets for the rocks not to sit directly on the glass. Screwed myself there lol
I just watched my LFS guy search a tank for 10 minutes for a small red coris wrasse that we all know is in there but he could not find him. He sifted all the sand moved the rocks etc... figures he is deep in a hole in the rock somewhere and will come out when he is ready.
We do have a lid. We have 3 tidal hob filters, and that's the only gap in the lid is where they flow into the tank. Sides and everything is covered. Really don't think it could have gotten out, but not impossible. It stayed pretty low to mid water as well. Never did swim up top. Buried every night in our zoa area.
