missing purple lobster!

we got a purple lobster 3 days ago and the first day it sat in the corner of the tank all day. The next morning, it was nowhere to be found. We looked under all the rocks, and dug up all of the crushed coral on the bottom of the tank, and still have not been able to find him or any remains. Is it possible that he climbed out of the tank? We don’t know where else to look for it.
We also have a porcupine puffer fish that is about 4". He did not bother the lobster all day while it was visible. I don’t think it is possible that he ate the entire lobster whole because the lobster was about 3", and the puffer did not seem any fatter in the morning like he usually is after a large meal, but we don’t know where else the lobster could be. Any suggestions?
