I’ve had this flasher wrasse in my 110 gallon for about a year now. Previous stock was:
Well, it’s been about 4 days now, and the flasher wrasse is still in hiding. I see where he is, and I see him occasionally move his tail, but he won’t leave that spot. Even if I put some food by him, he won’t leave. Sure, there’s a chance that he comes out in the middle of the night for a bit, but I probably check the tank 30 times throughout the day and he’s always hiding in the same spot. I wanted to make sure that he was actually still alive so I puffed a bit of water under his rock and he darted out and spent the next 15 seconds freaking out, then right back to hiding (won’t be doing that again...).
At what point do I become concerned? I have another tank that I could potentially place him in for a bit (assuming I can catch him), but would only want to go down that route if it’s been so long that he’s likely going to starve himself to death, and I’ve got a while before that time comes...
