Longnose Hawkfish - Is this normal?

[mpcart]

I got my second longnose hawkfish on Saturday (the first one went MIA after two days) and it has spent the past two days hiding in the upper corner of the tank behind my SEIO.

Is this normal behavior?

It will eat if I put food next to it, but it won't come out when I feed the rest of the tank. It's a cool looking fish and I want to make sure it makes it.

The longnose I had would sit on the powerhead until I fed it.They usually just sit around and watch everything,they are good jumpers as I found mine dried to a power cord behind the tank.

It looks like everything is okay. It's roaming the tank at feeding time and perching on the PH in between.

their bodies are built for launching as mine did and died. Cool fish and ate a pretty good sized ghost shrimp close to 1/3rd its size. So might me careful if your going to add smaller sized expensive shrimp in the future.
