How long have you had him? Leopards are known to run on their own internal clocks for a while which are usually set to their place of origin, halfway around the world.

He'll gradually adjust to your lighting schedule and be up during the day and under the sand at night.

They are known to suffer with internal parasite and some people treat them with prazipro or the like as a preventative. Hopefully you've checked out the leopard wrasse primer sticky
