|  Flame Wrasse AWOL!!!
For two days now have seen no sign of my precious and most most prized Hawaiian Flame Wrasse!!!!
No way to jump tank as it has a large canopy.
Overflows covered.
Hermits acting normal (will disappear if something dead about)
No spike in water params... 
Am very very unhappy. 
Hope is that he is just taking a vacation somewhere and hiding out in rock someplace.
I look for him every time I pass tank...???? _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)
12 Gallon NanoCube - 24w stock PC 50/50 light "...nothing good ever happens fast in a reef tank, only bad things happen fast..."

Hi Omard,
We have a sixline and he disappeared for a few days as well. On the third day when the lights came on he was one of the first to awake and start begging for food, LOL...Since they build a cocoon and burrow themselves in the sand, I just assume that he just slept and extra day....If you have truly lost him I am sorry and feel your pain... _________ 72 gallon bowed 150lbs LR 60 lbs LS
