    Could have jumped... Do you have pets that could have eaten him? Also have you checked all of your overflows, filters sumps etc.

    My algae blenny loved to hide under rocks and make tunnels. they have very good camo to.
    Check any rocks on the bottom of your tank and your overflow if you have one. do you have a cover? they can jump and go "carpet surfing" to.

    Mine disappeared also. I found him months later under my equipment cabinet when I moved it to do some cleaning. Should have but the screen top on earlier. I've lost 3 fish to jumping :(
