HELP! Mandarin Goby Missing

ChameleonNYSea · 03/25/2017, 01:50 PM

Hi all,

I recently covered my tank for the past 72 hours in order to help combat a cyano outbreak that my tank was experiencing. After uncovering the tank this morning, all of my fish were out and swimming, looking for food. I fed them, but still, the mandarin goby has been missing for the past 8 hours.

I have a condylactis anemone in the tank, so my best guess is that, if the goby isn't hiding, he ate it. (Would there be visible evidence of him eating the mandarin?) There are pods in the tank, and the mandarin eats frozen and flake, so I don't think that it would have starved to death (even though I reduced tank feedings 66% during the time period).

Do you think the mandarin is hiding and still adjusting to the light after three days of complete darkness? Or should I start to worry about it being eaten by the condylactis?

Thanks
