New possum wrasse

[Mcdonalds]

So just picked up a possum wrasse at the store and acclimated him. Ill have him into a breeder box for today, but just wondering if seeing little movement is normal, he’s sitting on the bottom of the box and he’s upright. In the store he wasn’t like this and ate when fed. Is this sometimes normal for new fish?
Thanks for the help

EDIT (20 minutes out): he’s swimming in the box now, seems completely fine.

This is very normal for any “deep water” fish (Tilefish, wrasse, certain angels ect..). They act dead but usually spike right back up once “danger” is gone

Always provide something for the fish to hide in like a piece of pvc pipe. Acclimation boxes are great for introducing new fish, but reducing their stress is vital for all.
