However, the rock structure he got stuck in is fairly new, only been in the tank about a month. I think he was probably just exploring some of the new hiding places and underestimated his size, or the size of the hole.

I'm worried now Everyone saying their fish died shortly after being rescued from their rocks. I hope my little guy makes it!
well... looks like there's lots of experiences contrary to my opinion... I'm often wrong... so my wife tells me.

I'm not sure that there's much you can do at this point though. One thought is to provide habitat that is less likely to have them get stuck in, but where they'll find comfort for hiding... maybe some rock work with over hangs?
