I have a new tank and just added new first fish yesterday. Tank is all cycled and good. I got 2 clowns a couple anthias and the fox face. Just first batch of fish and the problem is with the fox face. I have seen him swim around maybe once. Hasn’t even come close to the front glass and just sits under rocks/caves and ledges and is very lethargic. I don’t think he’s even eaten much I only saw him eat a single pellet won’t even look at nori. Doesn’t move around much at all. Idk what is wrong with him or if it’s just a bad fish everyone else is completely fine. Parameters are 0 ammonia 10 nitrate and salinity is 1.025. Only fish/ coral that isn’t doing good and idk why plz help!!!

New tank, do you have good surface agitation for O2 exchange?

Day two is really fast for addition of multiple fish, how big is this tank?

Post up a picture, we want to keep these fishes safe.

Sometimes new fish are freaked out like not into the scene. Vegging is normal?!
