Hi guys,
So 7 days ago on Wednesday last week I added a Yellow Coris Wrasse, Spotbreast Angelfish, and a Mandarin Goby. The yellow wrasse and the angel are doing great, but the Mandarin did a disappearing act and I haven't seen him since. The three were added to my well established 75g Reefer 350.

The tank is inhabited by:
Purple Tang, Two Spot Bristletooth Tang, Diamond Watchman Goby, Pink Margin Fairy Wrasse, Royal Gramma Basslet, Dartfish, and 2 Black Ice Snowflake Clowns

Any thoughts are appreciated. Has anyone had experience with their Mandarin disappearing then showing up alive later? Thanks as always!

I have had stuff disappear and never seen again. I have also had things disappear for months and seen them again. Who knows

Check around back of tank for a jumper? I agree With the above. I added One recently and see it rarely in my 120. But I know He’s there as I sucked It up while siphoning the back side of the tank during a water change.... saw him again yesterday so seems no worse for the wear.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
