My healthy well established tang is missing?????? Any ideas?

My Tang went missing for over a week and then showed up out of the blue looking and acting like nothing ever happened.

It's just me and my boyfirend Steve, and he has no idea what happened to the naso either.

I do have a large GBTA but he barely grabs onto mysis so I doubt he'd eat a fish, never has before and I've had him for 3 years. Plus I've seen my tiny green clown goby get a bit to close to my GBTA and he never touched the goby so I don't think that's it.

Let's hope and pray that's what happens with mine. The thought of him being stuck somewhere slowly dying or dead already is really worrying and upsetting me

I just got home and unfortunately there is still no sign of him

sift through the sand or move rocks? maybe time to re-aquascape?

Time to through on a set of flippers and a mask and go swimming with the fish don't forget the snorkel. LOL just joking. But it might be an idea to put on a mask and see what you can see from the top down.

My tank is 3 feet deep and I can't reach much farther then half way down. However I might be able to convince my boyfriend to try moving a few rocks around to see if we can find him. Although it's hard to move the rock because every piece is covered in coral and the coral is doing well, so I'd hate to move it and not be able to get it back into a spot were it would be happy and continue to do well.

Flippers and a mask sounds about right I have a Super spy coral viewer which makes it easy to look at the tank from the top down. I looked top down from standing on the ladder with a flashlight but I forgot about the viewer, I will try it out tomorrow when the tank lights go on.

Just thought I'd update as it was a week ago that I first noticed my naso missing.

Unfortunately he never showed up and there has been no signs of him in or out of the tank I did have a bit of a cyano break out a few days after I noticed him missing (it's since cleared up) so maybe he died and the cyano was from that Wish I knew what happened
