Sunburst anthia is shy

[MattyO]

Sunburst has been in the tank only 5 days, with just a melanarus as the other fish in the 90. It always hides when someone approaches the tank which makes feeding it hard but it gets one or two small prices each time... Any suggestions?

It takes time, they're known to be shy. They become brave once accustomed to the tank. As long as he's eating a little, he will do fine and eventually get use to you approaching your tank.

x2...as long as it's eating it should be fine and just needs to settle in...mine was shy at first also and took a few weeks. It's out all day long now mixing in with all the other anthias, but stays closer to the rockwork...
