As soon as I finally added this guy to the display tank, he booked it into the rocks. I haven't seen him for the first 2 days, except briefly when I walked by at night. He saw me, and sprinted back into the rocks.

There is nothing for him in the 125 gallon tank for him to be afraid of right now. There are just two juvenile percula clownfish that are not exactly aggressive. One of them got hit in the derriere by a hair algae tumbleweed the other day and sprinted across all 6 feet of the tank in about 1 nanosecond. I had no idea clownfish could move that fast.

But I digress.

Anyway, how long before this anthias has health problems? Anything I can do to coax him out. I've had him eating before, but not since I added him to the DT. This brave new world terrifies him immensely, apparently. And there are many excellent hiding places. I actually currently have no idea where he is.

He'll be fine , just offer a little food every now and then with different types of food.
