I just added the second fish to my tank (one spot foxface). The first fish was a purple firefish. The firefish had been very outgoing, and was always out in the open, eating like a pig. However, a few days after introducing the foxface, the firefish disappeared. Didn't see him and he didn't come out to eat for the past two days. I was beginning to think he had died and been consumed by my CUC. However, just now, I saw him hiding way back in the rock work. I threw some mysis shrimp in, but again, he didn't come out and the foxface ate everything.
Is it possible that he's just feeling intimidated by the larger foxface, and will come out of hiding when he feels more comfortable and realizes the foxface isn't a threat? Or is it possible the foxface was bullying him? I certainly didn't see anything like that happen, but I guess it's possible.
