Clownfish

I bought one of my clowns from reefapalooza and ever since that day I put it in the tank the fish has been hiding under the rock and only comes out when I put food in the tank and the lights turn off

It’s eating tho which is a good sign. Mine took a while to get comfortable in my system too tho.

Any signs of disease, be it physical or behavioral?

Clowns are just that..clowns. He may have decided he likes that particular spot. My percula is pretty staionary. She tends to hang out in her nem and never leaves other than to eat. She's currently back in qt and again, other than to eat, she stays within "her" PVC elbow. I also have two black and white ocellaris clowns that are more active. They spend the day flying all over the place.

If there's no other fish in the tank harassing him and he's not showing symptoms of disease, I'd be inclined to let him just hangout.

I did notice that the tail looks like it’s been niped a few times

Any other fish with him?

Any white or red marks near the nipped fins? I'd keep a close eye on em' and get ready to setup a qt if it starts getting worse. Here's a writeup on bacterial infections just in case

I had a previous clown that kept nipping at it when it was first placed into the tank but then stopped after a day
