not trying to post twice...just wasnt sure how much attention it would recieve in the newbie forum...i purchased a hippo tang only about an inch in size...and all he is doing really is resting on the rocks,..not breathing heavy no one is attacking him...actually my hawkfish seems like it's protecting him...but he hasnt swam much since i released him from the bag...any idea what could be wrong...i watched him last night for 25 minutes before i called the LFS guy over and he appeared to be in perfectly good health...homesick maybe...he'd been in there for about 3 weeks...eh i cant think of anything...and he wont eat either i know you want to wait a few days because of everything but all my otherfish ate the day i put them in

When they get stressed they will lay on the ground or wedge themselves in your live rock. Double check all your parameters and if he makes it upgrade to a larger tank in about a year.
