Lion fish

[youtoo54]

So I put a small lion fish in my tank and now everything has went in to hiding. I havent seen him bothering anything and is eating frozen shrimp. Is this normal when adding a new fish in my tank or is it the fact the others know what he is about?

Sailfin tang
fox face
coral cat
coral beauty
dog face puffer
snow flake eal

All of them minus the eal are way bigger than he is.

He is an intimidating fish :D

Give them time. Maybe keep the lights out for a while so they all settle down.

Lion fish can be aggressive. I think your other fish are being cautious.
