ok im super new to this hobby i have a 150 G tank with live rock in it i just got 2 clown fish and 1 damsil , now first question is ,is there a specific feeding schedule i should be following for the 3 fish (i do have the little frozen shrimps and the green flake food)
question #2 is why is my damsil hiding in the rocks and not coming out at all is it scared of the clown fish .should i get it a partner damsil will it come out to eat? if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated thanks
 
What type of damsel is it? Many types of damsels are rather aggressive for their size, and many people end up trying to take them out of the tank eventually due to aggression. Some are fairly docile, though. Since yours is in a larger tank, it might stake its territory away from the other fish, and not show signs of aggression. I wouldn't worry about it hiding.

There's not really a set feeding schedule to follow. I usually fed once a day, sometimes raw seafood, sometimes marine flake, sometimes frozen cubed food. Feed an amount that will be consumed without leftovers. Overfeeding can eventually cause problems with your water parameters.

I would say no to both of your questions. I hope that helps.
 
Yellowtail damsels are one of the less aggressive damsels. They can be kept in small groups, and they like having places to hide (as you are seeing with yours).
