    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...????

    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...

    i would double and triple check your carpet, when my solar wrasse jumped i thought it was impossible to get out with my canopy and eggcrate blocking the only openings in the back.d

    I have a Hoevens wrasse and he only comes out when I am not in the room. I see him when I am at the doorway but the second I come in hes gone. He might just be hiding...a lot.
