Good evening,
A little background on me, I’ve been in the reefkeeping world for about 13 years as a hobbyist turned professional. I run a full time aquarium maintenance company, so I’ve cared for so many different types of animals.
My concern with my Little octo is that I’ve had him for about two days and he hasn’t come out of the rock he was hiding in, he is light in color but assuming that’s because the rock is very light in color as well. He has one chromis and 4 snails, 3 hermits and 2 emerald crabs in the tank all for food. But it seems he hasn’t come out and I can only see him through a small hole roughly 3/16” in diameter.
I acclimated him over the course of serval hours, temp is at 79, all parameters are good- nitrate at 4ppm, 0 ammonia, ph is 8.2.
How long does it take for them to become comfortable in their home ?
