Hi everyone. Pretty new here and looking for some help with a new fish I added. We added a Lubbocks wrasse yesterday. Bought from a LFS owner who is a friend and built our tank for us. Drip acclimated and added to tank last night. Naturally he’s been hiding a lot but I’ve noticed this morning when he came out and about he’d swim a little, then kind of perch in the corner in the sand. Then swim and explore, and then kind of sit down again. And then go back to hiding. Is this normal or could he be sick? I know some wrasses’s bury but I haven’t heard of sitting and hanging out. I have a royal gramma who has been kind of rude to him but nothing crazy so I don’t think he’s injured or anything. Thoughts appreciated, thank you!
 
First day is always rough. Give it a little more time and a meal unless it starts to look in distress.
