New flagtail grouper

[Guynamedfish]

I have just gotten a flagtail grouper I was wondering why he was pale he was a bright red then when I put him in the tank after a hour he started turning pale is it because of him trying to blend in or is he stressed or is their too much flow in the tank

Probably just stressed due to the new surroundings. You can dim/turn the lights off for the day and just keep an eye on him.

That is very common when the animal is stressed. He will start to calm down after awhile just keep a eye out on him
