Purple Flasher Wrasse Hiding

[DarthSimon]

Hey guys,
Is it normal for a Flasher Wrasse to be totally hidden for 48 hours plus? The fish was active at the LFS and eating...

I have a large tank, reef with about 200 lbs of LR... I can see through into alot if holes, but just can't seem to see anything? Do they actually stay still in one spot for days? I tried feeding to intice it to come out, nada...

Any help or insight much appreciated..

My linespot flasher hid for several days, and took more than a week to comfortably swim around the tank. No other fish were aggressive to him either.

Yes they can stay hidden for a few days, probably just stressed from the move and large tank size. Tankmates might also be scaring the new addition if they are larger.
