I bought a little dragon wrasse yesterday and I haven't seen it since :( hope he is ok ...... My Sailfin tang is much better now his black spot has gone ..... The cleaner wrasse I bought done its job ....... BUT where my dragon wrasse :(
 
If he's anything like other wrasses, he's buried himself in the sand. I used to have a yellow coris wrasse. Put him in tank and didn't see him for 2 days, then suddenly his head popped out of the sand, then he started to swim around. Cool fish. But for a couple weeks he would bury himself in the sand at night. It's just something they do when they're not sure if they're safe. Just be patient. :)
 
Most fish will usually hide when introduced into a new tank. The first day I had my firefish, he darted straight into a cave that looked way too narrow for him and he didn't come out until I fed the tank. It just takes patience. He'll adjust.
 
If its anything like my red lined wrasse, it's gonna do a lot of hiding the first 3 weeks. Don't worry, he's there
