When you look at my 75 gallon, it appears empty because everything hides. They barely peak out to eat, then go back into the rock work. All parameters are kosher and on point and the 2 corals I have (a torch coral and a few radioactive dragons eye zoas) are doing awesome and never closed.
Any tips on getting my little buddies to come out more often?
There aren't many things in it because I add things slowly but I would think what I do have would be out and about more.
Current stock list
2 clownfish - hosting a powerhead like a couple of clowns. They are the most visible but they never leave that powerhead.
1 blue green chromi - hides in the rock work in the same spot, when I come by to make sure he's still alive, he sees me, scoots over out of my view.
1 Mccloskers wrasse - I see him rarely.
1 yellow watchman goby - hides in the same spot in a rock, unless he's with the pistol shrimp in the back of the tank, which he hides from anytime I come over.
1 candy cane pistol shrimp - I didn't even know it was still alive until the YWG finally paired up with it a month after it was added and only for a day. Then the YWG left to go hide in the rock across the tank again and once every couple weeks will spend a night with the pistol shrimp then leave to the other side of the tank for weeks.
1 cleaner shrimp - hides in the same spot in the rocks. I see its antenna and then it hides when I come near.
1 peppermint shrimp - hides in the same spot under a rock.
1 emerald crab - hides when I come close. Rarely see it.
1 pom pom crab - surprisingly, I see this guy pretty often even though I read they are the ones that are supposed to hide.
1 bumblebee shrimp - Small, but when I do see him, he doesn't hide, he's just small.
The snails and hermits are always out and about but everything else is always hiding.
