Help! Clown Loach have disappeared!!

I have two Clown Loaches and let me tell you that these guys are true masters at hiding. One day I spent hours looking for them, turning all my ornaments inside out. I looked all around the tank , wondering if, somehow, they had jumped out of the tank. After a couple of hours I concluded that my pleco must have eaten them somehow. (I got desperate, shoot me!?)

A few moments later, the two loaches came sneaking out of a piece of fake driftwood. I still have no clue how they managed to squeeze themselves into those little crevices....
 
Found them!

Well got home and they are buzzing about as normal, bumping into all the other fish! Must have buried themselves in gravel for a bit! Thanks for everyone's advice, that was some amazing hiding on their part, will leave them alone for now to let them settle...
 
mine liked to hide in my filter, which freaked me out before I realized the area he was in was not an intake or anything dangerous.

Good luck!
