Most cuc will eat a dead fish within 12hrs in a large tank. How long has it been since you've seen him and what size tank? Do you have a sump?

Check overflow and refugium also when tank goes dark, come back an hour or two later with a flashlight. If any culprits, you will see it as they favor dark

I have a midnight angel that I could not find last night is at least five inches
Moved everything and still can't find my angel. I also have a shrimp that I lost. It is a coral banded shrimp
Someone here lost decent sized angel in their tank for something like 3 months... and then it showed up... alive IN tank... was not even that large of a tank.

Don't keep moving things. It may be fine in your tank but moving rocks you might squish it. Or, it may have picked up carpet surfing at Olympic levels and you'll find some distance away from tank.... Fingers crossed both show up alive in tank.

Not in tank but in skimmer chamber

I found an emerald crab and hermit crab from the refugium along with the angel
Awesome!!! I'm so excited for you. I had my fingers crossed for your 5" angel...

now seems just your shrimp is MIA... likely it will turn up eventually too! Still keeping fingers crossed for shrimp success.
