Spotted hawk fish

[djwhite98]

I have had this spotted hawkfish for 6-7 months and right off the back he was my favorite fish. Sitting out on top of the rocks, coming up and eating from tongs, sit there and watch me till I’d walk out of the room. I noticed a couple weeks ago he wasn’t doing any of that and just constantly hiding, had me worried he jumped but he showed up. now he’s just hides in every spot he can find. Is there any reasons or problems that could have caused this, only fish I added after him were 3 chromis but that was 2-3 months ago.

Are the Chromis still there? If so - they may be claiming territory

Yes but not where he normally sits or even remotely close, they are up with the clown fish schooling by my over flow.
