Clown/Leaflip Grouper

[SaltwaterNC]

Ive got Leaflip (about 4") that isn't eating very well...been feeding it chopped krill...ive only seen him eat once in two wks? The tank lighting is low but all it does is hide...it is only fish in the tank? Tank is 150L Sg 1.024 PH 8.1 everything else is 0 across the board. Any imput would be helpful Thanks

If you just got the Grouper give it more time to acclimate and to realize that you are no threat.

Even after two weeks you still things are on the up and up? Is anything I can do?

Is he losing weight? He could be eating when you aren't watching. Small inverts / pods / worms...all sorts of good food in a saltwater tank.

If he looks healthy just leave him be and keep trying.

I agree when I had Saltwater setups had a juvenile Panther Grouper that acted the same way until the grouper became comfortable with me approaching the aquarium.
