whats the longest you ever lost a fish

[therapy]

I had 3 corris wrasses. One disappeared about 3.5 months ago. I have not seen this fish literally for 3.5 months. Today I am looking into the tank and after over 3 months up swims 3 corris wrasses. Where could it have been for that long a period of time, totally not seen by us. He is definitely "pale" and not as vibrant yellow as the other two.
How bizarre !

I lost a yellow coris for over 2 weeks once, thought he died but all of a sudden he jumped out of my overflow and back into the tank

Im pretty sure they are known to bury themselves in the sand as well.

I lost a Peppermint Shrimp for over 6 months. I turned on a flashlight at 3:00am and there he was.

Corris wrasse are know to hide or bury them self (never seen it personally) for months and like hibernating not sure why it happen to me, check when lights out it could come out and hunt.

This fish I am thinking jumped into the overflow box and finally jumped back into the tank, but I am not positive.

A week for my flasher wrasse that I picked up from seaside last weekend. Got home around 1:30 am last night and my gf pointed out a pinkish/red fish swimming around. Thought I had lost that little guy because I found the head of a fish mid last week before going to work in my sump.

Dunno who the head belongs to now *shrugs*
