I had gotten a Bartlett anthia from the lfs two days ago and I woke up this morning only to find him lying on his side dead. He had hid under a cave and not been eating but I thought he was adjusting like any other fish. Does anyone know why he could've died I have never had a fish die that fast and most fish come in the tank and do great.
 
Some fish just don't make it. Poor collection or handling could have doomed it, sometimes they just seem to go into a funk that they can't snap out of. It's always best to see the fish eating at the lfs before bringing it home.
