Flameback angelfish concern

[Cliving1]

For the holiday my brother brought me a flameback angelfish from Miami (since he can get one for 19.99 and me 89.99). I was at work when he arrived and he acclimated him into the tank. I did not show him I was setting up coolers to attempt my frist TTM, he just arrived earlier than expected. So, I do not see anything wrong with the angel, he has been eating for several days. But when the light came on this morning he is sitting under a rock in the same spot, not doing his usually scavenging and picking. He also did not eat this morning. I have tried to put in dried seaweed and will try some brine/mysis later. Am I being too worried? I just find it unusual he was doing his "angel" behavior then all the sudden has stopped.

Salt 1.025
Ammonia -0
PH-8.2
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-5
Temp - 78.

I just got the water tested yesterday at the fish store, was going to do a water change but forgot my buckets....

anyone?

Maybe he just wasn't hungry? Does he have any spots or other unusual symptoms that might suggest a disease?

Is there anything else in the tank?

 

[Cliving1]

Thanks Zee! There are 3 damsels and a yellow chromis/damsel (not entirely sure what he is). No spots, I am trying to get a pic but my phone does not do it justice. He hasnt left the spot all day, did not respond to seaweed or brine/mysis. Going to try my wife's camera.

Here hopefully these come out well.

Give him a few days, my flame angelfish took a week to come out of hiding..

I guess patience is the best advice of any..just odd he was swimming out, eating, etc then a 180 flip on personality. I will keep posted on his status. Thanks James

Mine was out in the open when I bought him also, but the second he went in the tank he vanished...

 

[Cliving1]

hmmm.. so he ran into hiding instantly? Mine was out for 4 days now he is just sitting near that rock in the picture.

Yup, a puff of sand and he was gone,, when I looked through the rockwork you could see the tips of his fins going by.,.
