Picture it! Three purple firefish, red firefish, royal gramma, lawnmower blenny , clownfish . All present to this morning. Left for a few hours. Got back. Clownfish mostly hiding, which is very unusual. One purple firefish. Rest of fish are gone. No skeletons. Lid sealed. No jumpers. Have two cleaner shrimp. All have been together for at least three month.
 
If you have a sump, did you check the overflow and sump? I've had fish take a roller coaster ride to the sump.
 
Sounds like a hitchhiker maybe on the loose?
A bobbit worm could do that.

Any update?

What’s your scape like? Did you go with maricultured rock? Do you have a sump and overflow?

If it’s only been a few hours I’d hesitate to write them all off. You’d be surprised how well a fish can hide
