Green Mandarin

[wtbuck12]

I received a live fish order from SWF on Firday. I followed the acclimation process as instructed, and everything went fine. When I placed the fish into the tank, the Green Mandarin swam to the bottom and hid under a piece of live rock. He stayed there for a couple of hours, then disappeared behind the rocks. I have not seen him since. Tonight I used a flashlight, but could not find any sign of him. Is it normal for him to stay hidden this long or should I be concerned?
Thanks for any info.

yes. Very normal. They can be quite shy for the first couple of weeks. Some never get over it. Mine is handfed and very outgoing though. Give him a couple days.....
