Wrasse are odd creatures. We moved some rock in our tank and our male melanurus hid under the sand for almost 2 weeks then came out like nothing was wrong. The female is new to our tank and we haven't seen her since the first day. The tank is "jump proofed" and the overflows are covered so we know she's in there somewhere - probably under the sand until she decides she's ready to try again. The male was checking her out quite aggressively - not attacking just following her every move - and we're sure she wanted a break from her suitor.Guys I finished quarantining my mccoskers wrasse for two months in cupramine and he was well, i drop acclimated him for more than an hour and put him in my other tank but I haven’t seen him since.

I’m worried cause this is my favorite wrasse and he was doing so well in quarantine so I would him to be ok in my reef tank. I really hope he’s just hidingWrasse are odd creatures.

You need to get a full-screen top with wrasses. He will jump. Even with the screen top they can jump while feeding and you may not notice.My Naoko went missing on the first night after swimming around nicely for the day.
Panicked a little and then found it had hidden itself extremely well in the rockwork. Comes out all the time though, just at night he goes invisible.
Really worried about the jumping aspect because when he moves, he's like the Flash so I can understand that if he did that up to the surface, who knows how far he'd get. Might have to invest in some netting.
I nx do have a tight lid, but it’s disheartening to see him do so well for more than a month in quarantine tgen suddenly disappear. He was breathing hard, maybe cause he was nervous due to the new environment then disappearedMy pintail hid for a week. If your tank is wrasse-proof, don't worry.
They can be sissies. Not like dropping a clown or tang in.I nx do have a tight lid, but it’s disheartening to see him do so well for more than a month in quarantine tgen suddenly disappear. He was breathing hard, maybe cause he was nervous due to the new environment then disappeared
I’m afraid he’s dead but I can’t see the bodyThey can be sissies. Not like dropping a clown or tang in.
How long was he in the DT? All other fish are doing well? Take a peak in your overflows too. I lost a flame wrasse in mine for a week. Thought he was dead too.I’m afraid he’s dead but I can’t see the body
It’s an all in one tank so he’s definitely not there, he’s only been there two days (today’s the 2nd day) and all my fish have been quarantined so no risk of getting sickHow long was he in the DT?

Don’t stress yet. Wrasse can keep you on edge. Had them go missing for 3 weeks. My number one will come out a couple day and some days I won’t see her.

How is it possible not to see them haha I only have a 40 but a lot of rockDon’t stress yet. Wrasse can keep you on edge. Had them go missing for 3 weeks. My number one will come out a couple day and some days I won’t see her. Been along 5-6 months
My two are sand sleepers but if you have a lot of rock they will disappear.How is it possible not to see them haha I only have a 40 but a lot of rock
Mine is the opposite.My two are sand sleepers but if you have a lot of rock they will disappear.
One thing I learned is they want to hide from us more then fish a lot of times when new. I try and stay away from the tank and leave them be.

Very friendly, comes up to the side of the tank when I'm near etc. Only a few days in
I still haven’t seen him? Can he be hiding under the sand?Have you seen it?
