New Maroon Clown

I just got a new maroon clown that headed for my anemone no more than being in the tank for 1/2 hour. HE DOESN'T COME OUT! The only time he comes out is when I feed the tank. He's very active in there constantly rubbing, nudging and nestling. Is this normal? Will he begin to venture further out?? He eats when something come near and eats rather aggressivly so I'm hoping this is normal.

All normal but I wished my two maroons was more like yours.

That's normal behavior when adjusting to a new home. Once he gets used to the tank he'll become more secure and venture out more. My tomato clown was the same way when I first acquired him. Now he spends much of the day out and about socializing with the other fish. Although he does tend to be a little bit of a bully around feeding time.

maroons pick a certain place they like & usually stay there

Mine only hang out in one corner of the tank too!
