I tossed in a banana wrasse (Yellow "coris" wrasse) but I never saw the SOB after the first day!

Mine were real shy until they got used to tank mates Mike. Cool thing is when they feel threatened they dive into the sand.
 
Well I have never seen him in that tank, nor have I found a little shriveled up dried guy on the floor :D Of course he could have taken a ride on the overflow down to my sump which is filled with live rock and I can't see squat in it, but I don't really have much hope on him still being alive, although if he is I'd be tickled pink! :D
 
I just dosed my tank few days ago and haven't seen any FW since. I did had a lot of them too but after they started dying, I placed a filter sock on the output of my drains to catch as many dead ones as possible. During the 1 hour treatment, I wet-skim the heck out of the water and 1 hour after treatment, I added 1 lbs of carbon to help remove FW toxin from the water. Some of my clams seems to stressed out a bit during the die-off but once carbon is added, they recovered nicely. Nothing else in the tank seemed to be bothered by the med.
 
well my coris wrasse and 5 fairy wrasse killed off all the flatworms remaining in the tank. But now the Coris wrasse has taken my cleaner shrimps head as a playground killed 1 and the other looks really beat up.
