Help w/ fish

[RyanMcLaughlin]

Hey everyone. Just got a shipment in from liveaquaria. Ordered a urchin clingfish. I had expected him to be a lot bigger but he is maybe .5 inches long and not much fatter than a couple needles put together. I want to put something in the tank that will enclose him away from the mass of my rock until he gets adjusted. Im afraid he will go in there and wont come out. They need to be fed special so I need him in the open. Any advice is appreciated.

Another reason to quarantine--allows this fish to fatten up and stabilize while you inspect it for disease BEFORE putting it in your main tank.
