Marine Betta

[thetoyman13]

I have a 90 tank--125lbs of live rock ,many corals
FISH
2 B/W clowns
1 yellow tang
1 coral beauty
1 flame angel
1 hawk fish
about a month ago i added a marine Betta--beautiful fish--but all he does is hide in caves in my live rock, i only see him once or twice a week, does any one know if this is normal for this fish???
He is a beautiful fish and i wish he would come out more, he seems to come out more often when the moon lights are on.:

What you're describing could come straight out of this article.

that is typical marine betta behavior...they are also nocturnal

i have had mine over two years and now he will swim around but still likes to hang out in his cave. the first two months i had mine i wasnt really sure if he was in there. just give him time and you will see him
