Tang Help

[akm]

I have a little Regal Tang about an inch long that was in my tank for about a week and a half then it disapeared. Well today I found it in my sump under a piece of live rock. So i put it int he tank and it swims to a little dimple in soem rock and has been what looks to be like it is trying swim into the rock. Is there something wrong with it? It looked okay except that it was a little pale. Could it be blind or what? Oh yeah, it got into the sump by being sucked down through the overflow.

maybe the dimple in the rock is its little safe place to be.

Well nevermind, it just moved.

try feeding it

You should try creating a little cave for your Regal to hide in your rockwork. Regals are kinda shy - especially at first, when they're small AND new to the tank. They need some place to feel safe. What are you feeding it? Can you post a pic of your tank?

That's normal behavior for a Regal/Hippo. The light color indicates it is stressed, and when stressed (or sleepy :zzz ) they will wedge themselves in a rock crevice for security. Is the color still light, or was it just temporary after the ride down through the overflow :w00t

If still stressed, it could begin to develop Ich - is this a new addition?
