IMG_2711.JPG Hi I've had this little fellow for a week or two now ... he seems too be doing well , he's digging holes everywhere and kicking up a right sand storm . I know this is usual but recently he's been swimming along the back glass he darts from the bottom left too top right and back again , he does this over and over again .. is this a sign of stress ?? Or a parasite infection of some sort ?? Any advice appreciated! Thanks
 
looks healthy, let throw this out there for the #reefsquad for more answers
 
Newly introduced fish do this sometimes. They could be seeing their reflection and reacting to it or they just have to get use to their new environment. Passes with time.

My new blue star leopard wrasse paces up and down one side of my tank. It will pass.
 
I agree it's fairly normal, we get lots of new fish that will do this. Sometimes it's their reflection, sometimes they just pace.

Thankyou for the reassurance!! He's eating fine and most of the time behaving normal
