hey totally agreed! It will not budge once it found its favorite hiding spots, despite many attempts from other fish to get in the favorite hole. I had to resort hand feeding few of them myself to make sure they eat. I had a 5'' shove out a 10'' raphael out of its pvc pipe because it liked it there. Those guys are all about their hiding spots.
I agree 100%. mine never comes out of hiding, i use a feeding rod with krill/shrimp to feed mine.It seems my lionfish(yes, they can live a long life in FW)likes the same hole in the stump. Im sure it has been stung by the lionfish but still refuses to move out of the stump..
