    I only have 3 fish in my tank right now; 2 sebae clowns and a yellow tang. The two clown fish seem to find pretty good places to sleep at night an amonst the rocks. The yellow tang however is always just pearched in the corner. Is there anything special I can do to help this guy find a nice sleeping position?

    Its a fish and they sleep where and how they want to .. Is what I have found out.. He must be secure in that if he sleeps there it may be moving into the rock work later at night and out when the room lightens enough ? I'd not worry about it if the fish is healthy and normal acting the rest of the time...

    Even though it is always a good idea to provide many places for fish to hide, your yellow tang will do just fine out in the open. I have kept them like that for years.

    You really can't do anything to justify where your Tang will sleep. If it is constantly sleeping there, it must be happy. Places to hide in your rock work is also appreciated as my Yellow Tang always hides and sleeps in a cave in my 125 gallon tank.
