last week I asked a question about my Royal gramma hiding or lying on a rock during the day
Well not thinking I planted some corals close to where he had been
Well now I see him in the top corner of the tank and swimming erratically

I can't see anything wrong with he looks good
I'm trying to upload a video
It didn't take it ( Mac video's

But here is a link

Thanks
 
I know but then I turned everything and he's still there. He is actually behind the pumps and the pump facing him is 24 inches away it's a MP10 running at 35%
but I've had him for five months and this is the first time he's up there
 
The video isn't definitive, but I don't really see anything wrong except for perhaps the current being too much for him.
 
Ok thanks guys but why all of a sudden would he go and stay up there after five months?
Normally he's among the rocks
 
Did something move into his territory among the rocks. I have one and he seems to stay around the same territory most all of the time even in my big tank.
 
Something else kicking him out of his cave of choice will cause him to come to the top like that..
 
Not that I know of, haven't gotten any new fish. The place where he sleeps input some corals around it. But nothing in his cave other than crabs or a cleaner shrimp moving around. It's 6:00 am now and I looked everyone is sleeping except him. But he's alive
 
I see royal grammas when I scuba dive. They don't seem to like bright light and tuck in under ledges. Also they don't seem to like high currents. I almost never see them more than a few inches from a rock.
 
He was acting totally normal today. He is shy and you get close to the tank he runs and hides unless its feeding time then he's out
Thanks
