Banggazi Cardinal Behaviour - normal or not?

[LouJones]

Hello

I'm really new to Marine fish keeping so not got much livestock.

I purchased a Banggazi Cardinal and it's constantly in the bottom left hand corner of the tank and doesn't go anywhere else? Is this normal behaviour?

Thanks

Lou

Perfectly normal. They usually find a spot they like and hang there. It's not a species that is active swimmer.

Lou,

Point of information: it's Banggai cardinal.
It's named for the Banggai Islands in Indonesia, which is the only place it is found. Scientific name: Pterapogon kauderni.

Nothing to be worried about. They aren't a very active fish. Mine usually just hangs out in one spot too.
