Hey,

i just got a new Royal Gramma for my 32 gallon reef yesterday.

I know grammas can be quite shy fish that like to hide, but he stays behind my heater in the corner of the tank (I have a heater in my display), and he just stays in that one spot all the time. Should I be worried?

I also noticed he has this tiny red spot on his body, looks like it might be a small injury maybe.
 
do you have any rocks in the tank? Is there enough territory for the fish to find his own? How big is the tank and what other fish do you have?

Pics will help the folks identify the injury.
 
They do like to hide, if there aren’t enough caves it will default to wherever it can find.
