Hi,

I bought a baby gold rush tang on Saturday, when introduced the tang decided it wanted to hide by my very territorial clownfish pair. This inevitably led to it getting a few nips and it zipping away into the rock structures. I haven't seen it come out since apart from one very brief sight a few hours after. I have been testing the water every day and am pretty sure it is still alive. Should I intervene and move the rocks or let it be?
Thanks.
 

i cant think

I would leave it a few days and wait for the tang to adjust - Eventually those tangs will be in their place don’t worry!
