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 ...

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.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
