Flame Tang

[Salty1962]

Here's a weird one.:confused: I bought a Flame Tang a couple of weeks ago and noticed him sometimes going into one corner of my tank and just sitting there. The same corner every time. No stressful or overly aggressive goings on in the tank, he would just sit there. He's been doing this for the last week or so. Tonight I was doing my nightly inspection of things and was close enough to see him do this odd behavior again. He is going to the same corner of the tank to deposit his waste. I have never heard of this behavior in any species of fish before.
Another one of those weird things that occur in our little slice of the ocean. o_O

He is probably just shy. My tang has a place he always goes back to when he isn't doing anything else.

That's actually pretty common behavior for tangs; those of the Bristle tooth family especially.

That's why I love this site, learn something new everyday:)
