RBs are skittish fish. You only had him about a week that's all. Usually it will take a few weeks for them to get comfortable with new surrounding. Give it time!
all depends on the fish, ive had my terns for almost a year now, and they still freak out all the time.... oh yea, did i forget to mention they are forsale
My guy always hides too that why I can't get a good photo for ID. He has beecome better over a couple of months but he will always choose to hide if I go near. Food is the only thing that brings him out. He does peek out at me and won't dart away now just slowly move.
He may get better with a little time. If not you could consider removing the castle.
