I have a six line wrasse in my tank “reefer 350”. I added a diamond back goby about a week ago. I saw the goby the first day. Know I can’t find it. I know they can hide for a few days. But, at this point im wondering if my sixline my be holding it at bay under a rock or killed it. ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS!!
 
I’ve got two diamond gobies with a Melanarus wrasse and they get along just fine, but I’ve heard six lines can be bullies.

I’ve had diamonds hide for a few days when first introduced. They can be hard to find in and under the rocks.
 
Diamond gobies are infamous jumpers, so check everywhere around the tank

Yeah, if they can squeeze their body through a gap, they’ll eventually jump though it. I’ve saved one from carpet death but lost one also.
 
6 line wrasses are often jerks and DWGs can be bullied by an assertive fish so it wouldn't surprise me. Did you find the DWG?
