The problem is i have yet to see him eat in front of me. In the tank i have a 11" oscar and i dont know if the reason the gold fish is missing in the morning is due to the wolf or Oscar

I had a goliath tigerfish with the exact same problem. it was the midsized one of the trio. he could see large movement out of it but small stuff like pellets he wouldnt see out of that side but when he spotted them with the other he aggressively ate them. i also found that if another gatf snuck up on that side of him it would make him spaz out and sometimes bite the other gatf. does your wolf have the same sort of problem? i think its due to an injury the animal has received in the past.
try something other then live. put something in the tank like a chunk of tilapia filet. something that will sit on the bottom that he can sniff out. sit there in dim light and watch for 20 mins and see what happens.
Nope my wolf is actually really calm, he'll swim from side to side a bit and when the oscar gets close he'll swim away to avoid contact. But Im just not sure if he's eating, my oscar is pellet trained but he get cocky to try and snatch feeders, he used to try and eat my snakeheads food but when the snakehead hit about 12" the oscar couldnt keep up. But now I have a wolf (snakehead is not in that tank anymore) and I never see him eat, I don't know if its because he's nocturnal. Do wolfs normally back down from food if they get to a point of hunger?
well wolf fish are much more calm as it is. heres a pic of my atf with the strange pupil 
im not too experienced with wolf fish but i know when its dark they r way more active. he was beat up in the pic. he got his *** kicked by a much larger gatf before i got him

Ya looks like my wolf fishes eye. I will name this syndrome "Lizard eye" and it is officially cool to have it on your fish. Congrats tgroen, we are part of the cool club!!
just too bad i no longer have that fish. i guess i use to be cool...I don't think it will affect the health of your fish, but probably the behavior. He will likely favor the good eye, keeping it facing toward the glass so he can see you. He will also become flighty and aggressive toward other fish approaching on his bad side.
