Vrolik wrasse hiding

Last Friday evening I added a Vrolik wrasse and purple firefish to my 75gallon FOWLR tank after 4 weeks in a QT (bare). The wrasse immediately buried itself and has not been seen since. When should I be nervous and start searching for it?
Thanks,
Bill

All fish hide the first day when added to a tank. Some will come out in matter of hours while other take days and even weeks. Depending on the type of fish and tank mates. Give it time it should be ok once it feel comfortable

My Melanarus Wrasse hid for at least 4 days after I put it in the tank.
