No reason to worry, these are very shy fish at first. I have a rooster fairy wrasse, that unfortunately the only time I see it is when I feed the tank. I have only had mine for 2 weeks, so I am not too worried. As long as it looks good, yours will be fine. They do bunker down in the sand for sleep, and protection. Give it more time.
