Regal Tang - Cave Dweller??

Hey everyone,

I was looking to see if others that have Regal Tangs have experience with them loving to live in your rocks. I just got one and it seems that she loves to live in the rocks. She has a special cave that she calls home at night and during the day.

I was looking to see if this is normal behavior.

Thanks,
Mike J.

Mine will wedge in between rocks as will most tangs but caves are OK, at night. During the day they should be out swimming if not something is wrong.

Well... A week later and she begins to be more friendly with me. I moved the roof to her cave, but she still loves the rocks. I think it will take some time, but she will come around.

well i read a book that said- "it may seem weird, however the more hiding spaces your fish have to go in, the more likely they are to come out during the day. mostly because of their ability to seek refuge in a short pinch, if needed. " I experienced this with my old fish. they loved to hide in a couple of peices of LR I had, but when i made more nooks and crannies in there, they were out more often. cool eh? HTH
