Royal Gramma
We bought a Royal Gramma from J&L Aquatics a couple of months ago. It is the most beautiful specimen I have ever seen. When we opened our packages the royal gramma seemed to be the most stressed out of all of the creatures I ordered, so I do not think they travel all that well.
However, he started eating about two hours after I put him in the tank. The next day he looked like he was covered in ich but it was gone inside of 24 hours and he has been nothing but healthy and happy since.
I think they get stressed during moving A LOT. We had also ordered four other various fish and none of them were even close to as freaked out as the royal gramma. This leads me to believe that the more you leave him alone, the more likely he is to feel comfortable and come out of hiding.
