i work at the lfs and i got him straight from the shipment bag and he wasnt acclimated to their tanks just mine. he was always just picking at the rocks he looks plump and happy and only nervous when i feed. im feeding mysis with garlic and veggie frozen also im considering live brine for the moment. however like ive stated over and over. he looks happy maybe hes just behind the rocks getting the floating leftovers.

Its possible. Keep an eye on him and make sure he stays lookin that way. Maybe try some flake food or pellets.

Sounds like a typical wild caught fish.
