Six Line Wrasse missing

[Andrew v.s wild]

He had been snooping around my Bubble tip anemone alot.
(something my clowns will never do lol)
Ive checked everywhere for him and he's no where:angry:
This isnt the first fish to be eatin by my BTA ive lost two damsels and a cleaner goby!!:at_wits_end:
Does anyone have any advice on how to stop this?:confused:
Otherwise he will be sold.
He's half a foot and probably too big for my Bio cube 8 haha. :hypnotyized:
Advice or customers haha!!

1) he could have gone carpet surfing. They do that.

2) he could be buried or hiding. I've had them disappear for a week before, and then show up

3) could have gone over an overflow/drain

I have all sorts of fish, including a 6 line, in with several BTAs - one is about 15" when fully open.

Yeah, I have never had my Rose BTA ever eat a live fish. To me, their sting just isn't powerful enough to stop a healthy fish in it's tracks. A carpet anemone on the other hand, now that I'd believe.

My guess is carpet surfing....jumped out of the tank. I had a beautful six line that after two years decided to make the jump to the window....or maybe it was the TV....in any case he came up short, and I found him too late.

So, it has been awhile since your post....so if your wrasse is still alive you should probably have seen it by now. I did want to let you know though that they do burrow in the sand at night or when they feel threatened. I have never owned one that didnt do this. As I recall, I dont ever remeber not seeing them for longer than a weeks period, usually saw them daily....in fact, with one I had, I he would pop out of the sand precisely 10 minutes after the lights came on in a.m. Cool fish, easy to keep. I havent had one in years but they were always fun to watch. Hope yours is still alive.
