bold fish now shy?

[nanonøkk]

ok so i have a small little pygmy wrasse named lumi and normally he glass surfs and likes to go into little caves and crevices.

well this weekend i picked up some corals at a frag swap and now he’s hiding more and barely glass surfs or is in the water column.

is this something i should be worried about he’s eating fine and everything.

i feel like he just got startled from all of the coral is that it or should i look out for things like diseases or parasites.

and the only other fish is a tail spot blenny and they haven’t fought at all. actually they kinda like to swim in the water with each other most of the time.

Change in landscape and lighting would be one cause as would internal issues if any

ok so should i just wait and keep watching him

ok looking at him more he’s got like white poop so could this be a internal parasite

Yes. They stress easily

Yes. They stress easily

ok also he has some stringy white poop as well could that be a parasite

Generally a sign of internal parasite. Before coming to that conclusion, are you feeding it mysis and brine shrimp?
These foods will give it that appearance.
If not, prazi pro will be a good treatment

i normal feed rods food but then i switch it up to pellets flakes and some mysis

Stop mysis temporarily and see if poop appears normal OR YOU can treat as a precaution

ok thanks for the help and uh weird question but my blood red fire shrimp molted and he now has less legs he can still walk amazingly and he’s grabbing at food and stuff and i know they can regrow limbs so should i be worried or just let him keep doing his thing
