new yellow tang

[jo118]

I just put a 2" yellow tang in my tank 3 days ago. He is acting highly reclusive, is hiding behing some coral and has not come out yet. There is only 4 baby percs so i dont think it feels intimidated. It also has not been eating. No signs of disease, looks healthy, and is breathing ok. Any idea why?

Hello-did you acclimate it correctly?Also is your tank new?How was he behaving at your LFS??
I brought home a YT once that appeared to be fine at the LFS and the very next day it started showing signs of ich I was so mad
I almost returned him to the LFS but I decided to do everything possable to keep him alive. You dont know what these poor things have been through before they get into your tank.I nursed mine through the ich then he developed secondary bacterial infection which I nursed him through it took about a month and now he is a perfectly fine and a healthy Yellow Tang. :happyfish
