My green leopard wrasse disappeared.

I introduced a leopard wrasse to my tank yesterday he immediately dug directly into the sand when he was introduced and haven’t seen him since

They do that when frightened, give him some time. Don't dig him up

Not uncommon for sand hiding wrasses. They can be gone a week or more during tank acclimation.

Yeah, my decora goby that lived in the tank also dissappear without a trace. Same issue? (He did not jump out, I ripped up my living room trying to find him)

Yeah, my Melanurus and Leopard did similar. After being out and about for a couple hours each disappeared for about a day and a half.

They hide very effectively in small rock holes.

No worries, the little scoundrel decided to come out

Ignore me

Purple fire fish are very cryptic. I hardly see mine out if his cave.

Dive bombing when new very normal and up to 72 hours. Reduce white intensity which may bring it out and also food will bring it out. At times you may have to step back at feeding as they are easily intimidated
