MIA or DOA?

[onux20]

I put a yellow coris in on Sunday. It headed straight for the rocks. I have not seen it since. You think its a gonner or still hiding?

still hiding from you.

[sportzfish]

If it is intimidated, like mine was, it dove into the sand and stayed there for a day or two until it was ready to come out.

[jason the filter freak]

Knowing the habits of a wrasse i'd give it a pretty good chance that you could go a couple of weeks with out seeing it

[L8 2 RISE]

Definitely give it a chance.

I put one in the chiro tank and it disappeared for 3 days. They now have named it Jesus.

[davelin315]

I put one in once and never saw it again. I don't believe it ended up on the floor, either. Then again, I have a lycopod that I hadn't seen for a long time that I found recently.

SAND!? I did not know they did that? I have just been looking in the rocks.

Good to know.

Nice one!

 

Thanks everyone, I will give it time and hope I see it soon.

[zygote2k]

yet another reason to get rid of the filter sock.

[gmubeach]

so how did the fish end up in the filter? Did it go over the overflow and end up in the sock?

[lanman]

My filter socks live in a little 'tank' in the sump - I have found several fish swimming around in there. Smaller ones, of course.

I found my clown goby in there several times. The wrasse was not so lucky.

[trockafella]

Cover up the overflow.. There are plenty of options to fix that problem.. Ive had that happen as well, I just cut a piece of acrylic to cover it and hasnt happened since..

[L8 2 RISE]

Be careful about covering the overflow. If you do cover it, a fish could jump onto the cover and end up frying under the lights as opposed to just leaving it alone, it'll be a pain, but at least you'll have live fish.
