Royal Gramma

[slicavoli]

Purchase a Gramma yesterday and the fish has been hiding in a rock since I brought it home.

Reef tank with a mated pair of clowns, yellow tang, and assorted corals and a clam!

Will this fish ever come out of the rock?

Tried feeding the fish and he still will not come out, I know they are bottom dwellers

Thanks in advance!

Well, those can be some pretty intimidating tankmates. Give it time, a day or two or three and the Gramma should settle in.

Not unusual behavior IME. The ones I've had seem to be out and about during feeding once they are settled-in, but most other times are fairly reclusive.

very normal they are shy at first
