Hi,
Like the post says: our new Christmas Wrasse and Royal Dottyback are MIA.
We brought them home Sunday afternoon. Now it's Tues evening.
We have live rock arches and (I guess) plenty of hideouts. They're not in the sump.

Tank is 3 months old.
42g display.
Parameters are in the right spot.

We have:
2- Pajama Cardinals
1- Spotted Hawkfish
2-Conch

I read that both species might hide for a bit.
Maybe they're coming out after dark.

Would the hawkfish eat these fish?

What do you know?

Thanks,

Has the wrasse come out yet? Every wrasse I have hid for three or four days, and took months before it would come out regularly.

Wrasse can be very shy. Some of mine didn't hide at all, one hid for 3 weeks. They'll be back

Hi
Spotted hawk likely ate the Royal.
Wrasse came out in last few days and took hits from very aggressive hawkish.
We can’t catch the hawk with a net so we put wrasse in sump while we build/ buy/ borrow a proper fish trap.
Hoping for the best
Wrasse is eating and is out of danger.
We have rock in our sump so wrasse has a bit of a habitat.
