    I wouldn't worry too much they can be quite shy, maybe try target feeding where he is hiding to make sure he eats.

    I would suspect the damsel. When your not looing, he could be chasing him in there. Mine did along with a few other fish. They would always hide. I got rid of the damsel, all the fish came out.
    In your case, i would wait another day or two. He still might be getting used to the new envoirnment. But def target feed where he is.

    Yeah,
    My yellowtail has attitude too.
    And they are supposedly non agressive. I think they are maniacs. Look at em closely... Murderous eyes
