Question

Yellow Tang Question


i recently got a yellow tang, he has been in quarantine for a few weeks and eating and swimming great. Well today was the day to put him in the display tank, and when i put him in he was swimming about and just being a tang, and when i turned the lights off (because i figured it would calm him down from the stress of moving and what not) anyway he hid in the rocks and has sorta wedged himself in so to speak. I was just wondering if this is normal for yellow tangs? while in the quarantine i didnt witness the "wedging behavior" but then again the only thing in the quarantine tank was a piece of pvc. Anyway i know its not the tank because there is a eel thriving in it. Any input is appreciated, also this is a 125 gallon tank.

My yellow tang likes to go between 2 tight rocks to sleep too.
