Hopefully. I've drained my tank twice to catch fish, not fun

No, get him out. I made the mistake of leaving my goby in the tank after everything else died of velvet because he didn't show any signs of having it, however once I started to add more fish into the tank after a fallow with him still in the tank, the velvet re-appeared.

Far better to be safe then sorry, get the little guy outta there.

I had the exact same problem with a pair of Zebra darts. They had a specific hiding spot in an old coral skeleton. I picked it up and rolled it over and over until they finally swam out, removed the rock and netted the fish. These guys also showed no signs of velvet but the tank has to remain fishless for the disease to die off. Some will say 8 weeks but I went another month just to be sure. 12 weeks fishless and all was well.
