I just got a goldenheart trigger from NY aquatics and wedged himself into a rock in my qt tank. How long do you think it will take for him to come out? This is my first trigger :)
 
A little while how Big is the qt It can take triggers awhile to getbused to their surroundings I had a Niger and I put him my dt and Dickie see him for 2 weeks though he had died and one day I went to pick up a piecd of coral and threrenhe was
 
Depends on the trigger. My Black was out swimming in ten minutes, but my Blue Throat took a few days before it was comfortable; he is still pretty skittish months later.
 
leave the lights off for a couple days and keep feeding...he should be fine...esp once he associates you with food...
 
My goldheart was one of my most timid fish at first. He also came in a bag of water that was only 62 degrees and was basically catatonic when I opened the bag. After slowly warming him and acclimating, he went into the pipe in my QT and hid for a good 3-4 days before starting to eat mysis.
 
He came out today but runs to hide whenever I'm anywhere near the tank. I did see him eat mysis so I think it's good. I've never seen one in person and boy they are an amazing looking fish. IMO the design makes them look very intimidating.
