Sunburst question

Have had my sunburst anthia for about 2 months. Today when the actinics kicked and were on for awhile he was just sitting in the sand in one corner. He has never done this since I've had him. He's only 1.5 inches and is not a huge swimmer but he's still usually out and about and eats well. At first I thought he was in trouble but a few hours later after the daylights kicked on he was fine. I did a feeding and he was ok. Anybody ever see this? Didn't know if it something I should keep an eye on or if he was just tired.

Temp was 78
Nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia were all 0.
1.025 salinity
No one messes with him. He keeps to himself mainly.

Can I mix another sunburst or other anthias with him?

I have Squaeback anthais that lovest sleep on the rocks or the sand at an angle. The first few ties I saw this I swore he was dying. Now I am just used to it(I do still check to see if he's breathing though). Pesonally I would't worry since this doesseem to be sleeping behavior
