Hows he eating? I don't have any experience with this fish, but I have noticed a good garlic soaked mysis meal usually gets the fish out more. Has it been eating? Sorry I am not much help.

I would leave it in qt a little longer. When I had my Naso in qt it was very nervous as well, I darkened the tank by covering most of it with towels and keeping the surrounding lights dimmed. It seemed to help. If I am ever forced to take a fish out of qt prematurely I'll do a preventative treatment such as "Quick Cure". It is a 2 day treatment for ick, 7 days for lymphocystis.

as far as I know he has not eaten anything. Just sits there freaked out. or he swims along the bottom almost flat.. (no sand in tank)... I am wondering if maybe his reflextion is freaking him out? Not sure what to do really, never had a fish behave like this in QT.

I have a foxface in quarantine right now that is very skittish. In fact, my daughters have named him a "politically incorrect" name because he doesn't seem very bright


Another small fish in the tank might help relax him a little, like a green chromis or something

How's the circulation in your QT tank. I have found some fish skittish as heck if the flow is low. I call it TPS or Tidal Pool Syndrome, where the fish thinks it got trapped in a tidal pool and is easy pickings for any predatory bird ect.
Even lots of hiding spots aren't enough in my opinion. I have a couple of tangs and anytime I reduced flow, they will pretty much panic.

admitedly the flow is poor in there.. with just 1 PH... I will throw another one in there and see what happems..

I will keep you updated..

My foxface was extremely skittish. They definately don't like being the only big fish in the tank, especially if there isn't many fish at all. I would just be worried about him eating, they should eat like pigs. I would definately try Nori on a clip and just leave him to eat it alone.
