Yellow Tang

[Tang_5624]

I am new to the reef keeping world and I am looking for some help. I purchased a yellow tang about 4 weeks ago. He is doing well when it comes to eating and he looks great. The problem is that he is constantly hiding and does not come out a lot unless hes eating. I have a 75 gallon with plenty of rock for hiding places. He is somewhat on a high trafic area of the house, but he spends over 7 hours a day alone with no traffic. In the tank I have 1 cleaner fish, 2 clown fish, 1 chalk bass, and about 4 Mexicanh turbo snails.

Any suggestions on how to get him better acquainted.

Give him more time and he should settle in just fine, the main thing is that he is eating. Probably still getting familiar with the tank and his tank mates.

yellow tangs can be like that. acutally alot of tangs are like that. my haw. kole tang hid for 2 months until he became satisfied. tell us more about the tank like par., sal., temp. you could be doing everything right. the tang is just trying to get settled in most likely. also show us some pics and welcome to mr!
