New naso sleeping odd

Best picture I could get, flashlight made it hard to get a good photo (the specks aren’t ich, it’s salt creep on the bracing)

3 days ago I got a Naso lituralus from Dr reefs, and it arrived healthy. Acclimation to the present tangs was harsh to start, but he’s integrating well. He readily feeds on mysis w/ selcon and tries to eat nori, but my kole tang chases him away from the clip. Today I noticed he’s sleeping tucked up next to the overflow box, mostly on his side but not sluggish. I may have seen this before with him, but I don’t recall. He’s also covered in white stress “blotches”. Is this sleeping behavior normal for a new naso? Am I overthinking?

If it’s out and about by day and it is eating, I wouldn’t worry. My blue tang sleeps on her side and gets a pale looking color during the night.

Fish is probably still getting used to the tank and the inhabitants
