Is manderin dying?:(

Hey guys. I purchased a mandarin yesterday. It is still a juvenile. It's small. This morning when I woke up, I found its tail nipped and it was breathing a bit heavier than last night. It was on the sand bed, still is, and doesn't really swim anywhere until a hermit crab or shrimp comes near it. Is this normal behavior for these little guys. I know they mostly scavenge for pods but this one hasn't really been searching around the rocks.



Is it going to die? I always would see these guys eat or nibble at the rocks at the LFS or YouTube videos. I haven't been seeing mine do this. Well, I have here and there at the sand bed.
