Transferring Live Rock

I was transferring live rock from my Biocube to my new 75 Gallon display tank tonight. I gathered all the inverts and put them in the display. I had a Royal Gramma and Orange Spotted Goby in the Biocube. I can't find my R.G. anywhere, is it possible that he got scared and went inside a peice of live rock. I have looked in the sand, all around the biocube and I see no traces of R.G. Can they do this? Will he find his way out? Help
 
Any fish can hide in the live rock. When I transfered my tank I couldn't find any of them and I have a 3-4 inch yellow tang. It will come back out as long as you didn't close the hole off. Just give a couple of days to a week and it should be out.

I would not worry, I had a RG that used to stay in a piece of live rock all the time. Give it a few days, I'm sure he'll show up during feeding time.

It is coming along great, but I have had an algae outbreak, so I guess there is sufficient bacteria now in the tank. I will try to take some pics this weekend. Any recommendations for a magnetic scraper?
Is it now safe to turn on my uv system?
What kind of plants are easy to deal with and plant in my sump?
I have a royal Gramma and an Orange spotted Goby, Any suggestions on my next fish? I will consider any suggestions.
Also my 14 gallon biocube I will be using as a QT tank, should I remove the sand?
