yeah they like to hide in the rock, mine darts in when you walk by the tank or turn the lights on or off. He does come out and play all the time though, very nice fish.

Would you say they spend more time hiding out than swimming?

I am looking for a peaceful reef safe fish for a 37 gal that likes to swim in and out of the rocks. I don't want a fish that stays hidden most of the time, so I am interested in the RG.

They all hide from time to time. Maybe a goby of some kind??

A Royal Gramma does exactly what you want....swims in and out of the rock, likes caves and plenty of holes in the rock. Will hide if it gets spooked but will typically make itself visible most of the time. Nice reef fish, but will get territorial if crowded. It will chase others away from it's "spot". mine has found a cave it likes in the tank that it swims in at night and will sit in there upside down. Seems pretty hardy and is one of my favorite fish.

Mine stayed completely hidden for the first few days and then he slowly started coming out more and more. I'd say he spends about 70% in plain sight and 30% in the rock. He usually will pop out every couple of minutes though. A really beautiful fish plus he gets along well with my two clowns.

i think i'm pretty lucky cause my royal gramma is always out in the open. i have him in my 29 reef that has plenty of hiding places so he probably feels secure in the tank. the fish i have him with is a fang blenny, skunk clown and a neon goby. doesn't seem to be afraid of anything.
