He's pecked at some brine shrimp, but only ate about 6-7 pieces (Thursday morning), and has been in the tank for about two days (put in on Wednesday at 10:30am). Explores a bit, but mostly hides...
Should I just leave him alone? Keep the lights off all the time? I know sometimes it takes fish up to two weeks to fully acclimate to their new surroundings.
Some info about the situation : the titan trigger is 3" and is alone in a 50-gallon box tank with 20-long refugium. The tank has been set up for 9 months, and the 'fuge around 7. The refugium is jammed with rock, a 5" sand bed and 7 different species of caulerpa. The tank itself has around 100 lb's of live rock, all cured and from my 2-year-old 75-gallon reef's sump, with a 5" sand bed.
No other fish in the tank, and a 20 gallon water change was done the day before he was put in.
And before anyone complains, this is a temporary setup because I'm moving in two weeks. Upon moving, he will be transferred into a 5-foot, 110-gallon tank.
Any advice is appreciated. I know quite a bit about triggers, but am paranoid about this guy because of what he is...
Peace,
Chip
