Its very hard to tell with a fish under a rock as I realize its where they often go when first introduced.
Was this an LFS fish or a shipped fish?
How did you acclimate it and for how long?

Will need better pics or video under white lighting hopefully showing entire fish.
With its elevated breathing, adding an air stone may be beneficial

it was an LFS fish they all come pre QT'ed I acclimated it for 1 hour(150ML water in a cup added every10mins until the LFS water matched mine 35ppt) thanks I do have an airstone ill put that in now also and turn my skimmer to full power setting have you seen the new videos I've added but he is still under the rock he comes out swims around for maybe a minute and then swims back to that spot

I only see one video . Some LFS will say QT or Pre-QT and merely they have placed a fish in short term copper solution. Always assume fish has something and quarantine yourself with more delicate fish for at least 21 days.
