ricordia went missing, don't want to rip tank apart, any options for finding it?

I had a Ricordia that dislogged itself from rock work (darn the superglue) and got itself jammed into a crack between two rocks. Now its gone, missing in action for about 3 weeks. I used flashlights and small exploratory rock movements during WC but I couldn't find it. I really don't want to move the big rocks around, any options for finding it?

I actually had that happen to me a few times, and each time the ricordea ended up showing up on the sand bed eventually. It had always shrunk from lack of light but eventually recovered.

Usually the flow from the tank ends up blowing it into view. You might want to take a powerhead and blow in between your rock work to see if it will bring it out. Good luck.

My Rics have babies all the time. I always see them lodged between the rocks. I got smart. I point one of my returns behind the rocks. The flow brings everything to the front right corner of my tank.
