Hi, I purchased 3 sapphire blue damselfish yesterday. It has been 24 hours since introduction and they won't come out of hiding.
I already had two clownfish (one ocellaris and one percula) in the tank before I introduced them. I also introduced them with a neon blue goby the same day. I can't find too much information on these damsels so I was wondering if you know anything about them. I'm trying to figure out why they are hiding.
They won't leave this tiny tiny cave I made.
The neon blue goby I introduced set up a station to clean and is exploring and eating already.
is this normal behavior? I can't say I saw them eat yet. It's been 3 feedings.
No corals yet
