What happened to my wrasse?

[nattydread]

He was an awesome Tonos fairy wrasse. Not in the tank, not in the overflow, not in the sump.

Parameters are in check, everything else is healthy.

I have a solarflare that sits snug across the top of a eurbraced tan. One a coupl eof inches for him to jump out.

He must have made it. But where did he go?

My conclucion: The dog ate him, and thats why he's sick.

[ReefTECK]

Possibly, if there is any space at all a wrasse will often jump out. However many wrasses also sleep in the sandbed and operate on a pretty strict schedule. My H. Melenurus is up before the lights are on every morning and cannot be found after 8:00pm sharp! I could set my watch by his behavior. Keep faith, good luck!

Dang, sorry to hear that. Keep looking and keep up the hope.

I have not seen him for a coupl eof days now that i think about it.

And last night, my dog left a mess like Ive never seen before, never.

Unreal.

There have been times where my halichorus (xmas wrasse) have been in the sand bed for 3+ days at a time. I would give him about a week before you chalk him up as a lost. If you have anything else in there that will pester him then he could be just hiding in your rock work.

Yep, I have to agree he could be hiding. I have had one wrote off that showed up out of nowhere a month later (in a 90 gal).
