"Sleeping" Fish Pics

[Jizu Puentes]

I captured this photo of one of my yellow staghorn damsels trying to blend in between my nepthea and rock last night. Any of you have neat pictures of your fish "sleeping"?

I need to get a picture of my juvenile yellow shoulder tang. It is in my frag tank and turns completely white at night as it hides under a pvc/egg crate rack

I had this Midas who would sleep with his head poking up thru my magnetic frag rack ( his body just dangling underneath ) such a kook lol

My Melenaurus is buried in the sand when sleeping, but he does like to lounge on the GSP and Xenia rock.

That's an awesome shot of your foxface! It seems that quite a few fish like being supported by coral at night

I got up early one morning several years ago and first thing I noticed was this guy like this.
At first I was heart broken. This meleagris wrasse was one of my favorite fish.
Then I looked closer and noticed what looked like gill movements.
I took the picture and the flash must have woke him up.
2 minutes later he was up and swimming around.
I guess he figured if his head was buried he was safe.

Just found my yellow coris Wrasse after sleeping in the sand for over 1 month! I was stirring the sand and he popped out and then reburied himself. I didn't think they could last longer than 2 weeks?

If he can't see you then you can't see him. I think that's how it works haha

That's pretty odd. It must be finding something to eat

Kind of looks like tire marks, like he got ran over.
