[boxer385]

just put a new yellow warasse in the tank last night i saw him go under the sand and i haven't seen him since? is this normal? i have a 150gal and alot of LR. I feed the fish this morning and nothing? he is missing in action.

I have Pink pencil wrasse`s in my tank and one stays out almost all the time and the other is in the sand most of the time. The day I put them in I thought I lost one but it eventually came back out. It does comes out at second feeding in mine when the MHs go out and the actinics are on.
BUT..... they are jumpers so make sure its not behind the tank or on the floor.......

Did you check overflows, sumps? (or floor) they like to jump.

i check the floor no sign i'm going to do a water change and will inspect the overflow, my sixline been missing for a couple of days also.

6 lines can get aggressive and its possible it may have chased it out...Just a thought. Mine is pretty aggressive to ours and will chase them when given a chance. Luckily my Sailfin Tang does not approve of the 6 line chasing and will chase him putting a stop to it. Hes my tank police right now it seems like
