I have a flasher wrasse that I purchased recently (an week ago) and he seems to only chill in this little nook (as seen in video) and barely ventures out except to follow the goby for a little!

I’ve read that flasher wrasses are pretty big swimmers going all over the tank!

I was wondering if I don’t have enough hiding places for him to feel comfortable to venture out?! His hiding spot seen in that photo is just to the left of that middle rock under the arch!

That is unusual. They can be shy though. Might just need some peaceful open water fish.

Is it a McCosker’s?

My suggestions
A second flasher of a different species
Royal gramma
Firefish
Clownfish
Possum wrasse
A small halichoeres wrasse like a yellow, radiant, dusky, etc

Okay awesome! I planned on getting a royal gramma to introduce last to the tank last bc of its territorial behavior!! So that looks like it’ll wrap it up and help the wrasse too!
