So I tossed a McCosker's Flasher wrasse in my tank today.. and I watched him for about an hour before I left for work and everything seemed fine then... but when I came home from work I have yet to see him (I've been looking for about 2 hours now) I've checked the over flows the floor etc, but nothing, I'm curious if its usual for them to hide for a a long time while getting used to a tank or what the deal might be... do you think this might be a loss or do you think its just hiding still? ------------- http://www.reefinsanity.com" rel="nofollow - www.ReefInsanity.com http://www.facebook.com/ReefInsanity" rel="nofollow - www.Facebook.com/ReefInsanity 801-680-4676 |

Most likely hiding. I've had them hide for 4-5 days before they get comfortable with their new home. But it always makes you nervouse, doesn't it. ------------- 335G Reef TOTM. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2015/2/aquarium ReefKeepers TOTM Feb. 2012 http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....k-of-the-month & |

They are really cook to watch when they come out and flash. Keep the tank covered though, they will jump, as well as hide. ------------- Home of the baby Picasso! |

If you are looking for another type of wrasse to add, we have had great luck with a Yellow Corisse Wrasse. Great fish. Great color. Buries himself at night, but is out all day.
