Important to note: it must be jazz flute.Try to entice him with food. Once he comes out to eat, play relaxing jazz music; that should comfort him and maybe he will not go back to sleep. When you are ready for him to sleep, turn off the jazz. I know it sounds crazy, but don’t knock it till you try it. Good Luck!
i dont think its a disease or water quality. the problem is that my schedule dosent allign with its schedule. on the weekends i see it but on weekdays i dont. i have a set schedule on my lights but i usually just turn them on and off at the same time each day. it dosent come out to eat on weekdays because its usually asleep but it does eat on the weekend.There’s usually an underlying issue if a wrasse hides for a month. When you first get one, it’s not unusual for it hide for a few days and be shy for a while, but hiding in the sand for a month is not normal. You either have water quality issues or it has disease (though if it’s still alive after a month, it’s likely water quality). Also, do you have your lights on a set schedule on a timer? If not, not keeping a set schedule can cause fish and corals to stress out.
mines up at about 9:30 then goes to bed before 3, it is never there after school. but he looks really good when hes out and about. i highly doubt its territory too because all my fish get along perfectly without any intrest in eachother.Mine is up by about 8 am and then dives down for the night around 7 pm. He usually misses out on my evening feeding which is normally at 7:30, but it eats for the 10 am meal.
