He is always behind something
He is always behind something
I have a new porc. I got him about a week ago and he is always hiding. He comes out to eat, then he curls his tail and tucks himself away? It is in a 150 gal tank with a yellow tang a chromis three small damsels (not agessive yet) also a cleaner wrasse oh yeah a file fish too. But he is plenty big to not worry about them and they dont pick on him. Anything I can do to make him more relaxed. Or does it just take time?

Re: He is always behind something
How much live rock/caves are in there? Fish that have a lot of hiding options are more out in the open.

I have 20 lbs of live rock and about 100 lbs of skelatal coral that is slowly turning into live rock.
