Royal Gamma disease

My new Royal Gamma stays at surface of tank in corner. It's been a month. All other fish normal. She eats food I drop in corner. Her body looks good. Any ideas about what is wrong with her?

Can be intimidation in which one of the fish in tank is either bullying it or territorial where it will not come down into the rock structure. Come fish also favor corners as I have a clown myself that rarely leaves the right corner.
Intimidators are usually basslets and clown fish

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

As @vetteguy53081 said, that could be intimidation, or a lack of a cave for it to hide in. No ripped fins at all?

My Gramma likes to hide... he's found a ton of holes/caves/tunnels in the live rock in my tank. He'll come out on occasion, but 60% of the time he's "missing". Does yours have a spot or places to hide?
