As the day comes to an end and the lights over the reef start to dim down, all of the fish go to their sleeping spot. The blenny nuzzles up in a small cave, the clown hovers around the front corner, and everyone else is tucked behind the rockwork. The lights go out and everyone is asleep never to be seen again until morning. EXCEPT! My potters angel. Everyone else is sleeping or tucked in for the night and she is cruising all over the place picking at rocks and having a great ol time.
Do you have a fish that is a night owl?

Radiata lionfish
 
Percula clown makes sand dunes everywhere and my cleaner shrimp marches all over the place.
 
My emporer angel and copperband butterfly are always out browsing, day or night.
 
My venusta is out if there is a white light on in the nearby bathroom or room with the tank. The long nose hawkfish seems to cruise the tank all night, and the P. Aculeatus seems to be out and about at night in QT.
