Gold Assessor Basslet missing :(

[jaganshi066]

I purchased a gold assessor two days ago and today I noticed it went missing. It was in my quarantine tank, which has live rock since it’s not medicated and pvc pipes with a hob filter. The top is covered aside from the part where the hob filter is pouring the water down, anyone have any guesses? Are they jumpers??

bummer. Id start with looking all around the tank and then just give him a bit to show up again. could just be hiding

Everything is covered and there is something covering the filter so that’s ruled out haha but thank you

Is it inside the live rock? Could there be holes big enough for him to go in?

Is it under the rock?

Could be inside the rock and I heard they hide a lot but he didn’t come out when I fed yesterday.

I lifted the rock up so it can’t be under it :(, it’s expensive more feel bad I can’t find him

picture of the tank? It might help

And mind if I ask where you get it? It looks like small lyretail that I haven’t been able to keep alive thru qt so that could be a replacement for my fish list

It’s just a 20 gallon long, bare bottom with pvc pipes and live rock. My local store can order any fish for me. Do you live in SoCal?

Just wanted to update everyone, the golden basslet was hiding in the rock in a tiny hole. No clue how he got there but thank you everyone!
