Hi gang,
A few weeks ago I had purchased two small tank raised false percula clowns. They were in a 10gal QT tank with PVC fittings for hiding spaces. During the AT period everything looked good, each one staked out it's on PVC pipe to hide in at night and periodically during the day. I transferred them to my 180gal main tank yesterday. During the day the swam together, mostly along the glass at about mid tank level. When the tank lights started to go out they didn't try and hide anywhere. Even after all of the lights were out they were still trying to swim around in the dark. has anyone ever heard of this? When I checked up on them this morning (lights still out) they were hiding at the water surface behind a return line. Could it be that they have never seen live rock and don't know what it is? There are a ton of hiding places within the rock that would simulate the pvc pipes they were in. They never even ventured towards the tank bottom however. any ideas?
