Barrletts anthias unseen for 48 hours

[fishmonkey]

Bought 3 bartletts anthias 2 days ago and I am only seeing 2. I’m concerned the last one is dead. Anyone have one of these guys hide for more than two days?

Not with any of my anthias, but have you checked the floor, overflow, sump, caves?

I checked the floor and I might check my overflow again. I’m pretty sure she’s in a cave and is hiding still or dead. I don’t want to really disassemble the rock work but I fear she’s dead. I have a 120 gallon so I’m not sure if there would be a bad ammonia spike and I’m considering putting in a cleaner shrimp just in case.

Just for the record it took about 60 hours for the last anthias to finally appear

In a 120 I don't think one dead fish is enough to worry about hurting the tank overall. Not enough to tear the rocks up.
I had a firefish that sometimes would go a few days without seeing, I would give it more time
