Black Cap Basslet Behavior

[Rekonn]

I've just added a black cap basslet to my 90g tank, and I rarely if ever see it swimming, it just goes from one hiding spot to another. It has peaceful neighbors: coral beauty, pair of oscelaris clownfish, and a yellow tail damsel. It's also the biggest fish! Will I eventually see him swimming around like the others do?

It could be 1 if not 2 things IMO
New to the tank give him some time some one could be picking on it. sit back away from you’re tank with the lights off and observe for a bit far enough back so you cant bee seen by the fish

Give him some time to adjust. Have mine for a year now and he out and about all time. Always greets me and looking for food.

Well, today when I fed the tank (and stood back) he at least ventured out 3 inches from his cave to get nearby food, and then right back in. I'll take whatever progress I can get :lol:
