Hi guys I'm a newbie in this community and I had my saltwater aquarium for about a year.

It's my first time to introduce a Pacific blue tang (is it correct?) (a small one, about 3 inches) to my aquarium. I've read that they really love to swim a lot (if I'm not mistaken). But the thing is she keeps on hiding in my liverocks. I got a 75g aquarium, and i think it is enough space because i only got 2 false percula clownfish, two bubble tip anemones, a mushroom coral, and a bubble coral. I really don't know if she's stressed or scared or whatever. Does anyone have or had this kind of experience? Or is it just common for Dory to hide always?

If she is a wild caught fish, it will take a few weeks since they aren't used to the tank and everything. I don't have any SW but this is just from what I have read.

I have a Pacific Blue Tang. It took over a week before she came out of the rocks and started eating. I was very worry when I first introduced her to my tank, that she would not survive. Now she the biggest hog in my tank. Eating 80 % of the food before the other fish can get their share. When the lights cycle off, she hides back in the rocks for the night. Don't worry, give her a little time to adjust !
