I added a Electric Indigo Dottyback and a Canary Blenny yesterday. The Blenny was swimming freely on one side of the tank but the Electric Indigo Dottyback immediately found a small hole inside my Marco rock and this morning I could his head sticking out of this small opening and every once in a while he darts out but then quickly goes back inside, he must of found a tiny cave to hangout in. :)

They hide and sleep in holes. It will come out once it gets comfortable with the new home.

I found it amazing that he found this tiny hole in the rock in a matter of minutes of being added to the tank and disappeared until this morning. :)
