    I have started a new 30 gal saltwater tank. i have 25#live sand, 32#live rock. these items have been in tank 8 weeks.
    I have 10 hermit crabs, 2 featherdusters for 3 weeks, i added 2 yellowtail chromis,1 green chromis, 1 clownfish 8 days ago. the 3 chromis are active,
    the clown fish has been behind the live rock the entire time without coming out? Is this normal?
