A. Turdo you bit my style in which my username is spelled by using a pattern LiKeThIs.
B. I'd like to comment that if you look at various fish websites:
WARNING!!!!!I DID NOT write any of this, I found it off a website CAN NOT post because it would be rude to the Admin. of Saltwaterfish.com
The Koran Angel is a large fish that can make a good first Angel for an experienced aquarist. These beautiful fish are truly impressive and can be quite interesting to their owners. In the wild, as with most large angels, Koran Angels are solitary fish. They are normally found in waters shallower than 82 feet (25 meters), and are usually found foraging or hiding in rocky, coral reefs. They can make good community fish, particularly when they are started as juveniles in a community aquarium. However, most Koran Angels cannot be kept with other similar Angels or other Koran Angels. They may eat or nip at tridacnid clam mantles, sessile invertebrates, or corals and are not considered reef safe. Koran Angels are quite intriguing. Their owners claim that their seemingly curious natures make them particularly appealing. They are sensitive, like most Angels, to water quality and should be kept in ideal conditions.

IMO it is up to the particular fish, if it hides most of the time, or puts on a good show for you. In my experience, my Koran is shy, but I also have a gray angel and he loves swimming and approaching those who watch him. Although in my lfs I have witnessed the complete opposite. Your fish might just need some time to come around, or you just got a shy fish.

My Koran Angel is EXTREMELY active and loves to swim around in my tank, he is one of the many stars of my tank, he is always either begging for food, swimming against the current.. or just playing in the rocks...over all it is one of my most active fish. My v-lion on the other hand is lazy as crap 
..hehe...but yeah...im shocked to hear these animals are shy...mine is 100% the opposite.

Assuming it's a juvenile, it's not at all uncommon for them to spend a good deal of time under cover or at least close to the rocks. This is natural behavior. Once they mature, you'll see it out more. Hopefully your system is large enough to accomodate this fish as it grows.
