Just thought I'd share a story of mine today. I have a blue tang who is usually very active. Today he was not out and about swimming. I could see him in his sleeping place in the rocks and he was moving but just barely. I begin to think something must be wrong with him I fed the tank he did not come out, now I really thought something was wrong. I fed the tank a couple hours later and he still had not come out of there. I thought what if he's stuck which was my best case scenario i thought he might be sick. So I started moving the rocks around and that actually freed him up.
He's been in the same rocks every night since i set up this tank and had out grown his bed.
So i moved the aquascaping slightly to give him more room.
I thought he might be sick when he was in the rocks and didn't want to eat. When i freed him you could tell he was scared . He just swam in the same spot with all his spines flared out for about 5mins. When he calmed down and i fed the tank....he ate quite a bit like normal and has been his usual self since. He had a slight cut on one side and head.
Know your animals...... you just might save them. I can't imagine if I'd waited till tomorrow. I've had him for 6 years:fish1:
