Ha! Maybe you have another fish that pesters them into hiding? Mine are out all the time, dithering around. Not the worst trait! But ya, I'd be even more peeved if the little buggers just hid all day long.

I agree, i just finished cycling my tank with 2 chromis and they are always out! Its cool they are always darting around and in view, only hide at night for resting. They also eat like pigs.

For the benefit of new reefers and without any reflection on Tony because obviously he didn't know, the use of live fish for cycling is considered in the hobby as inhumane.
Putting a fish through the torture and likely death in cycling a tank is unecessary when a schrimp from you grocer will do.

Glad that you have something to watch in your tank this weekend! Woop!

I used to have a 9 footer and kept 8 or so tangs and read up and experienced their need for a large tank.
I would post from time to time and another reefer posted that I was a Tang Nazi. I objected to him calling me a Nazi and he changed it to Tang Police. That label stuck.
Another reefer sent me the avatar.
Now there are many tang police on all the reef boards.
