Six Line hypoactive...

So I just got a 6 line wrasse. From a 'reputable' lfs. Anyways, I drip acclimated the fish, put it in the tank and it hid for the rest of the night. Switched off the lights. Next day Lights are on and its just swimming in between rocks and crevices, doing its thing. Still not coming out -- being shy.
Now I find it lying in a 'hole in the rock'. I thought It died and 'poked at it' -- it swam away, and quickly returned and is just lying there....
Is this fish a goner?
Tank: 20L, Ammonia/nitrites/nitrates: 0, sg:1.025, ph:8.3
Tank is a couple months old, but was a transfer from another tank that was a couple months old as well. There are 2 clowns in there that are doing fine, and a few corals that are all doing fine as well.
Thanks in advance.

My sixline lives in a hole in the rock at night. every single night in the same hole.
Maybe he's just freaked out about something, is it getting picked on at all?

Give it a few more days. My wrasse took a few days to come out. Get a blue/green chromis, it will run everything around the tank, ready to play.

its dead. :( thanks for the help..

Sorry for the loss... I got a yellow wrasse, it seemed fine..I acclimated it and released it into my tank..it swam round for about 3 minutes..looked at the sand, dug in and was never seen again. After three years I think I'm safe to say it died. never bothered to get another.
