Hi everybody. I just got a leopard wrasse today (macropharygonton cyanogutatus). He was delivered online after a six hour trip. I have wanted such a fish for a long time but was worried about him delivered online, as I have read that they get extremely stressed when shipped, but it was the only way as my LFS never carries more demanding fish. As soon as he was acclimated, I put him in the tank and he immediately dived into the sand under a rock. I knew this was normal for this kind of fish, so I did not worry. However, a few hours ago he came out and is not looking well. He is mostly lying on his side under rocks or at the corners of the tank, swims a bit and lies down again. I realize he may be very stressed from his day, but should I be worried or do something? I don't want to lose him. Bullying is out of the question, as all his tank mates are very peaceful and nobody has disturbed him so far. Thank you all for helping if you can
