Orchid dottyback question

I've had my orchid dotty for a few weeks now. He's found his little hole in the back and he only comes out to eat. He pops out, grabs some food and comes right back.

I've read that they get more active over time, but is that true for a case like this - when he NEVER comes out except to eat. I've kept royal grammas that were shy and eventually came out more - but those never hid ALWAYS with the exception of meal time.

Have you ever had an orchid dotty that was never came out at first and eventually did?
 
I've had 3 over the last 20 years and they all act like that at first. As long as you don't put any bullies in the tank and they get used to you they will stay out more. The current one I have from ORA eats mysis out of my fingers and stays out whenever someone is around.
