stars360, sounds like nothing to worry about! It was probably doing 1 of 2 things, either it was going to the bathroom or releasing some of its symbotic algae to adjust to the new lighting in the tank. Occasionally you will see the fish eating that stuff!!

so you think that i should just let it run it's course. aprox how long untill he is used to my tank conditions, and lighting. So that he opens up fully. because i have had him for two days and he has not opend up at all. thanks so much

I would not worry too much, I have had my weso for a while and he still does that every once and a while.
