Royal Gramma playing dead

PBMann · Apr 7, 2022

I have a new Royal Gramma and it looks healthy (no spots or any injuries I could see), well at least I thought it looked healthy then two days ago I saw it lying motionless on in the bottom corner of my tank. I tried to catch it by had but it swam away so I left it (I currently do not have a QT set up and can't get one set up right away because I am recovering from knee surgery) it stayed in the corner for two days then this morning I looked for it and could not find it. I just fed my tank and the Gramma came out swimming normally and eating.

Is this unusual activity or just a silly fish.

Typical habit and will always come out for food
