LobsterOfJustice touches on something i have noticed as well. Takes awhile for them to get adjusted to the light schedule.
Leopard Wrasse

Agreed - and an underappreciated role for a period of QT. FWIW, if you have a Leopard that is eating, but still appears to be losing weight (gets that 'pinched' look behind the head) its the telltale sign that it has some kind of internal parasites and treatment is necessary. Though prazipro is generally reef safe, I think it's still far better administered in QT.
BTW, for those who may not have, the sticky on leopards is a really good (though looooong) read.

From what I heard, leopards do poorly in qt "with meds". So I usually forgo the traditional qt and place them in the sump for 1-2 weeks. I get them use to frozen then place them in display. Have had success with 5 so far. Although they are very aggressive and have had my ornate and black leopard kill off a blue star that I couldn't catch.
Anyways, All my leopards aside from my black leopard hid for a minimum of 5-6 days and up to 3weeks. so give it some time.

I added 2 female meleagris 2 weeks ago and 1 male potters a week ago. I might have been lucky but they all came out with the next day or two. Had them eating live brine shrimp for about a week and starting yesterday they are now eating PE mysis. Good luck, they are awesome fish. Can be stubborn taking prepared foods.

I appreciate all the replies. It's been 12 days since putting her in the tank and no sign of her, no rearranged sand that I could see other than from my sand sifting star. Then, this morning, I came down to check on the tank and from across the room I could see her swimming across the bottom. I ran upstairs to tell my wife and by the time she and my daughter came downstairs, she was gone again. At least I know she is ok. Pods are crawling all over the glass in my tank so she certainly has plenty to eat! Here's to hoping she is getting more comfortable!
