Do a thorough check around the tank, fish can flop a fair distance . Lost my purple this way, I'm rooting for hiding in your rock work though.

1+I used to have a lobster in my tank and I saw him grab my copperband right in front of my eyes. Something like this could have happend to your tang. I also lost a clown tang but not sure what his fate was lol

ok found his body :-( sandwich between two rocks. I guess he was asleep when i move my stuff around and accidentally one of the rock fell on him. Lesson learn, don't move stuff around when the light is out. I hate this hobby
