We all spend a lot of time enjoying/ watching out tanks, the fish have habits and routines. It isn't until it's broken that I notice sometimes. I had a yellow coris wrasse that got up and went to sleep the same time every day- one day it seemed like it went to 'bed' early- didn't think much about it until the next day when it didn't get up- a damsel that harassed it had chased it out of the tank. Today I did a water change with a siphon, cleaning stuff off the rocks, a couple of hours later the tailspot blenny was no where to be found- checked the pail of waste water and there it was. I also notice when adding a new fish that some will hide for a while or completely change their routines - stress? maybe
