hiding fish

I recently added my fish into their new home, i was just wondering if they are hiding in the corner together as a nervous thing after being introduced into a new environment or could something be wrong? Note i properly acclimated them into the tank i didn't rush, there is a high flow through the tank with mid-moderate lighting, I've kept fish for years and I've never had this problem before so that's my reason for posting ha ha.

Fish: Pacific sail tang, Clown fish, Scopas tang, and blue Chromis

Tank: 5ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft with 30kg live rock and 3inch thick sand bed

Parameters: ammonia 0 nitrate 0 nitrites are there but very low temp is 26 degrees

Anyone have any idea or am i right with the nervous and i need to just let them settle?
 
It's been 2 days since they were introduced, every now and again they'll venture out but other then those rare moments their huddled in the corner.
 
Really common for this fish to hide a lot initially. Mine have taken weeks sometimes to feel comfortable enough to venture out for more than just to eat.
If you have them in with more aggressive fish that might influence how comfortable they feel about coming out.
