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

do you have any large Nem's in the tank they will eat anything that can get there fingers on.... At least mine does, fish go missing and he gets blamed or the little pygmy angle gets blamed as he will swat other fish with his tail and make them move towards the large carpet Nem. I thinks he has figured out that he can get rid of any fish he wants by being pushy. He will be moved to my kids tank once I get the 110g to my place and get it running. out of the 55g and into a 30g for him. My kids like him so they should be excited about it. I call this little angle the herding angle he is only about 2 inch in size and runs the tank. even the clowns will now let him near there Nem which they wouldn't let happen before.

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.
