Hello everyone!
Starting my 2025 on Reef2Reef with a bang!
First ever tank cycled, went to the aquarium store, got a red morph and came home happy and proud.
Guy at the shop said, just plonk them on the sandbed and they'll move around if it's not happy.
And so I did. I laid the red pancake flap on the sandbed, somewhere shady and it floated away and now it's stuck inside a hole/crevice in the marco rock.
Been there for 3 days, can see a tiny bit of red inside the hole but i cant get in with tweezer or anything and don't want to rip it up either.
Do I just leave it and hope that one day it comes out? I'm a bit sad because the red is a really nice colour and I don't want the lil thing to die!
Cheers everyone, happy reefing and happy 2025!
 
Leave it. It'll come out if it wants. It's going to take a few days for it to settle into the tank.

Perfect! That's what im doing now. Like a cool little easter egg in the tank that nobody knows about haha. Just wanted to double check because I wasn't sure if it'll die in the crevice or not. Thank you!
