Royal Grammas are all about that, or finding a hole and staying in it only poking their head out. I've been told that they live real deep where up and down have no meaning. Thus they are often found upside down, or vertical.

How long have you had him? It took mine three weeks to start coming out.

fry he bought it a month ago... lolz...

 

[zahner]

u sure the camera wasn't upside down? lol

seriously tho-

that is normal, Tullock's Natural Reef Aquariums book mentions this behavior. they live in caves and under ledges in the wild.

 

[212jay]

He's playing dead.

 

[nanoreefer22]

LoL...hes a funny dude..now named vampire

 

[indireef]

LoL...hes a funny dude..now named vampire

like the black cap basslett, they look at the world, from the deep, bottom up.

 

[inline6]

It's common for them to do that, especially when they're in jars.
They like to see what's coming at them.

 

[alrha]

try turning your tank upside down - see if he'll then be rightside up.

*kids, dont try this at home.

 

[nanoreefer22]

LMAOO!! And i was about to try it too lol...hes bac to rightside up

 

[Pedro]

As fritz said, that is perfectly normal. Royal grammas live on caves and reef slopes, where they love to hug the rocks. So in overhangs they love to hang out upside down. If you were to place it in a clear jar with a lid he would do the same thing. Nice fish btw, i love mine.

 

[nanoreefer22]

Is there any reason for them liking to hang upside down, besides being able to see everything?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

i guess they think its funnn.... LMAO
