H. malu are sandbed dwelling.

How deep is your sandbed?
What do you have for flow?
What size tank?
What lights do you have? (( what lights was it under? Are you acclimating it to your lights? ))
What are your current water parameters --- with numbers please.
How long has your tank been set up?

The answers will help the course of action.

That is a really nice looking Malu.
I would scoop an area of sand nestled up against a rock or two, in an area where flow is moderate.
A 20g is kind of tough to keep params stable, not saying it can't be done, just harder.
They do require pretty stable params.
They do stay much smaller compared to crispa, the other sebae(I wish we would start calling them either crispa or malu to avoid confusion, such different species and demands)
good luck to you.
