Hello,
I have had my tusk in my 220g for 3/4 of a month. At first it would swim around and then kind of perch on some rock then swim again. Now it’s swimming and then laying on the sand bed by a cave. It is eating very well and goes after larger chunks of shrimp meant for the zebra moray eel. Just wondering if this is common. I have lots of oxygen and I just did a big water change last night and a small one today just incase. Just wondering if this is a thing they do and take breaks as it’s not continually swimming like tangs. should I be concerned? Lastly it is fake coral because it’s behind my bar and I hate the look of just white live rock.

Thanks

Mine did this a good bit the first month as long as it’s eating good I wouldn’t worry too much
 
Thanks a bunch. It’s swimming laps across the back now.
