Orchid Dottyback Help

[Ambition]

I've had this pair of orchid dottybacks with me since the middle of July. I obtained them through DD and they came in good health as expected. They have been in QT since then due to changes in what the parents would allow for a system and such. Well, come last week they have gone into hiding and haven't ventured out since. They have only come out to eat once since this behavior started and I'm getting worried.

Tests all check out with my Ammonia and Nitrite all testing out as 0. Nitrate at 20 and the temp at 78. From the glimpse I got of both fish, their appears to be no body damage that would indicate fighting, nor are there any signs of illness prevalent externally. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Are they still housed with the clowns and the new multifasciata pair? Did they start behaving different shortly after the multibars were added?

No they haven't been with anything but each other since day one. Only thing that changed was the light... I had to get a new bulb since the old one burnt out.

Attempted a feeding this afternoon and they ate. They just would not venture all the way out of the PVC. This is better, but still unusual for them to be as shy as they are.
