I just recently got a valentini puffer and he is in a quarantine tank I left for work her was fine. I come home and he is missing. I took out all of the rocks and checked all around the tank, it has a mes lid that was un disturbed and i cannot find him. Will they bury themselves or eat into live rock?
 
They can wedge themselves in some rock if they find a hole big enough. Do you have any filters on the tank it could have jumped in?

Sorry i am just seeing this. I eventually found him about half an inch under the surface of the sand wedge under live rock passed away :/
