What's wrong with my Harlequin?

Everytime I come down to the tank, my HT just hangs out in this corner. But as soon as he smells food, or if I open the canopy, he's out and about. He stays out as long as I'm by tank. But he retreats to the corner when I leave. Should I be concerned?

How long have you had him? Did you QT the fish? If so did you treat with anything?

30 day qt with just prazi. Had him for 2 months total. His appetite is very good, and eats anything that hits the water.

Then I wouldn't worry much about it. Some fish take longer to acclimate than others. My male crosshatch will hide from me when I come up to the tank to feed even though he knows I mean food. Still scared from the capture I suppose

Had our Crosshatches for months and they still hang out on the far right hand side of the tank.

Walk near the tank and they dart across it faster than you can blink... cause they're hungry little pigs...

I love my Crosshatch more than any other trigger I have had by a long shot, but he is a wuss

Is there any other fish that might be showing aggression to it?

I don't believe so. He's the biggest fish in my tank. It's living with a moorish idol, long nose hawk, and various other flasher wrasses, as well as a mated pair of smaller blue throat trigger.
