Mandarin Won’t Leave power head

[ReefHunter006]

transferred this little guy from the frag tank to his new home in the big tank.

He will not leave the top of one of the power heads. I’ve turned off my mp40s because I am worried he will get sucked up. Anyone have any experience with new manadarins just isolating themselves like this? No aggressors. Hasn’t moved in 24 hours other than small adjustments.

Very unusual location. Shut the gyre off and he if it goes back to the bottom. Hovering around flow often is a sign of irritants.
Any heavy breathing?
Loss of appetite?
Need another pic of fish close up.
