i thought raccoon butterfly were peaceful ?

[3bavboys]

yesterday i added a raccoon butterfly and a 6 line wrasse to my 90g that had a pr of clowns
dripped them for a little over an hour and then fed 1/2 cube of mysys to the tank about an hour after adding -
all 4 ate fine and everyone was getting along ok , went to bed -
this morning, i could not find the wrasse - i tried looking all over - in the rocks, at the back - for about 15 minutes - could not locate him
and the clowns were acting stressed - staying at the top of the water in the back of the tank ( which they only rarely did) and the butterfly occupied the space that the clowns used - at the front glass across the whole front
butterfly ate the wrasse ?
butterfly stressed the clowns ?

I would think that unless your 6-line was very, very small the raccoon didnt eat him. Since you just got him he may just be hiding in the rock work. It took a fairy wrasse a week and a half to start comming out of hiding after I put it in my tank. From what I've read the raccoon shouldnt bother the clowns, but they may be a little stressed just because there is a new fish in the tank. Give it some time.

Anything is possible. Is it the biggest fish in the tank now?
Your wrasse may still be around, depending on what type, they sleep in the sand or build a mucus cocoon in the rocks to sleep in. Keep an eye out later in the day for him

Yes, he could be sleeping in the rocks. If you do see him, he may be covered in mucus and look dead. Then latter in the day, you will see him swimming around and wonder what the heck happened.

My guess the wrasse is hiding. I would just make sure that everybody is eating and given time to adjust to a new, bigger fish in the tank.
