Parrotfish Constantly Hiding

I transferred over my quoyi parrot to my 75g holding tank that is currently housing the rest of my fish from the 120g after his/her 30 day quarantine period a little over a week ago and although she's eating forzen mysis and flakes she is almost always wedged somewhere in the rockwork appearing a bit lethargic. Should I be concerned? Thanks
 
Probably doesn't like the change in tank and feeling crowded. If the fish is eating I wouldn't be too concerned about it
 
Do you have plenty of hiding spaces in there? Usually the more places to hide the more you see you fish...

Also no aggressive fish in there?

The tank is packed with rock from the 120g, and no, there are no especially aggressive tank mates (He's the largest fish besides my eel)
 
I believe this behavior is normal. Any time I would stick my hand in the tank my Quoyi would do what your describing, I could physically touch the fish because he would just "freeze" in a corner
