My firefish disappeared!

I have/had a red firefish. The first week I saw it swimming in upper third of the tank a lot. I haven't seen it in almost 3 weeks. I checked everything, water amm, ph, trates, trites, sg, cal etc. I even checked the carpet. Everything is fine except the fish has disappeared. Could my green brittle star have eaten it? <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

Do you have LR? Fish can get shy and hang around the back of the tank, out of sight for a day or two. Another option if you have LR is his body could be hiding in the rockwork.. if you don't have LR, and he's suddenly gone missing, I would definetly do a double check around the carpet.

Well 3 weeks is a long time and I can't even lure it out with different foods, so I'm assuming he's a goner....

Mine went into hiding for over a month and a half. Made a appearance on day during feeding, after I assumed in was gone. He stayed out for three days then disappeared again. This time though I don't think he's coming back. Unseen since January 7th. I think he was chased into hiding by my aggressive little psuedochromis that I'm now trying to catch. He recently chased my six lined wrasse to the carpet.
