    So I added a flasher wrass on Thursday. I know if you don't see pics, it didn't happen, I am wondering if it really happened myself as I have not seen it since. I know they hide when first added, so I am not too worried yet, but it would be nice to see it sometime soon. I will add pics if I ever do see it.

    MIne hid some in the beginning, and again for a while if I mess with the tank. In general, he is very active though.

    Good luck, I'm not sure what your other stocking is like but eventually if the fish was in good health and handled the transition to your tank well it should come out eventually. Unfortunately Thursday is quite a long time to hide IMO, although not unheard of I don't think.
    Are you sure you don't have any other fish that might be intimidating it from coming out of hiding?

    The only fish I think might harass it would be the maroon clown, but she rarely goes 6 inches from her anemone. Only other fish I have is a foxface and 2 small chromis. I've heard of wrasses hiding for a week after adding, so I'm not overly concerned yet.
