I recently added one to my 90g 2 days ago and its been eating well but noticed today its swimming up and down the glass. I also have a Midas Blenny that would occasionally chase it but it hasn't as much the last day... should i be worried and try to get the Blenny out?.
My other fish completely ignore the hogfish and are swiming and behaving regularly ...
2 oc clowns
1 falco hawk
1yellow tail damsel
2 pajama carries
1 yellow tang
1 midas blenny
 
Swimming up and down the glass is normal for a new fish. They are figuring out the borders of the tank. The hogfish may also be noticing a bit of it's own reflection and is treating it as an intruder.
