    I have a 46 gallon with 2 oscellaris clowns, 1 mandarin and a orange back wrasse. For the past few days now the wrasse is not coming out to swim even when I feed the tank. I don't know if he is eating at all? I see him in different areas in back of rocks so he is alive. I have not added anything new so I can't figure out why he is acting like this. Ph is 7.8 - 8, alk is 9-10, calcium is 420 and temp is 78-79. He used to be out in the open like the clowns. Any ideas?

    Is someone harassing him? How long has he been in the tank, how old are the clowns?

    First of all Reef Guru I was trying to get as much info as I could. This seems to bother you?
