Hi

Just got him about 4 days ago. Was all over the place the day he was put in tank. Now I know they like to go into the substrate, but how do I know he is ok since I am not able to find him?

Thanks

I just went thru this with a Wrasse. Your best bet is to be patient. If he was ok the last time you saw him he's probably made a cave under some rockwork. It took 7 days before I saw my new wrasse lol

How big is your tank?

I did not see mine for a good 3 months at some point. I do see him everyday now but I presumed he was dead until I saw him randomly appear one day.

Give him a pistol shrimp buddy.

I agree with what's said above. They are shy fish, and even more shy without a pistol shrimp. Especially with it being a new fish, it will definitely hide.

If ok, will show interest in food, respond to you presence at tank and come out and explore when you are far back from tank

He has a Pistol who setup his cave under a rock the day he came
