My Show and Tell! New Fathead Sunburst Anthias!

[anpetey]

Hello everyone!

I just thought I would share with you the first edition to my tank, a Fathead/Sunburst Anthias! He has been in the tank almost a week, and while he is still very very skittish, (to give you an idea, the pictures were taken with a 300mm Macro lens If I get too close to the tank to fast he darts into the rock work for a while) he is a slow but piggy eater and is very slowly starting to explore the tank a little more.

He does like to hug the glass next to his reflection so I do wonder if he is a bit "lonely". I got him from my LFS, who told me he came from a customers tank, so I wonder if he was used to being with a lot of fish, and maybe this could be why he is so skittish? I wonder if adding a second fish sooner rather than later, such as a Midas Blenny or Clownfish might help him out? If anyone has an experience with these fish please chime in! Anyways, I just thought I would share! Enjoy!
