I have 2 clownfish but this morning I can only see 1, do they hide? I bought 2 last saturday and lost 1 on the monday which my LFS replaced but now I can't see the new one anywhere - he was quite happily swimming around last night before I went to bed and all my water levels were good when I tested them yesterday afternoon. I'm just worried in case he has died and is under my rock somewhere??????

Some will hide moreso in a new enviroment, if you don't see him in the next few hours I'd start looking.

it could be hiding but if it is that means one or a few of things
-could be hiding because its being picked on
-its not happy
-its getting or is sick
-something is wrong with the water
-it doesn't feel safe.
what are ur current water parameters?
and have u noticed anything else weird?
and if its not hiding....im afraid the only other option is; its dead...but lets not hope for that one

all levels are good, salinity is slightly up but just warming RO water to replace what has evaporated. Phosphate is around 0.5 but has been since fish went in. Original clownfish has not been picking on him and there are no other fish in the tank yet.
