Hi guys. So, this is a bit of a long story so please bear with me. I added 3 fish to my tank on Sunday. I added a yellow longnose butterfly, a royal gramma and a blue throated flasher wrasse. In the aclimation box, none of the current inhabitants cared about them one way or another, so into the tank they went... my kole tang immediately decided he didn't like them so I put a mirror on the far side of the tank and he happily went away to go try and murder himself. The gramma immediately disapeared into the rockwork never to be seen again. The longnose hangs out in the right half of the tank and the wrasse found various small caves to hide in always visible. By yesterday, things had calmed down alot. My butterfly was exploring the tank and not being bothered too much, my wrasse was coming out longer and longer and swimming around, the gramma is still MIA. Last night around lights out, I saw a head sitting on the sand. I haven't seen the wrasse since dinner that night and still have no idea where the gramma is. So, now I have 2 missing fish and 1 head. Can anyone help me id the head? It doesn't look the right shape or color for the wrasse, but it's my first fish head. Any help would be appreciated.

Tank is a 5' 180g. Current inhabitants are:
Sailfin tang
Kole tang
Rabit fish
Springeri damsel
2 clowns
Falco hawkfish
Engineer goby

Thanks,
Leo
