New fish not looking so good.

[sidd129]

I took these pictures on friday. I recieved him at 3:00 pm and these picutres are at about 10:00 pm. He looks better than when I opened the box. He swims around a bit. Is there anything that I should be doing for him. I offered him rods reef food along with some ocean nutriton sea weed and he isn't eating. I don't think he had that scrape out of the box though, I think he did that after i put him in his tank.

Rabbitfish go camo when they are stressed, that's normal. Once he settles in it'll still happen, just at night, feeding or under duress.
