Hi, first time posting
I have a reefer 250 and am struggling with my fish options. I have a well matured predominately LPS and zoa reef and have focused on the corals up to a few months ago. I have been adding some fish for the last six months and they are all fat and healthy. However I feel there is something missing. There is no action in the tank, when I walk up to it everyone scatters into the rocks. They all stay there until I move away from the tank. When I'm feeding I generally turn off one or two Wavemakers and they all come out after I dump in the food. But as soon as it's gone they retreat.
The tank is situated in our kitchen so it's in a fairly busy place in the house and I've three kids so there is a constant noise level!
The current stock is 2 Snowflake clowns, 2 Green Chromis, 2 Bangai Cardinals, a flame angel, a royal gramma, a purple file and a peacock wrasse.
The flame angel can be a bit of an jerk nipping his tankmates at times but this is nothing serious and never harmful to them. There is plenty of hiding places and a good amount of swimming areas too.
So, I'm looking for suggestions on fish that would liven up the tank and also if there is any trick I'm missing in getting the fish to be more active.
Thanks
