When did you get them, they will eventually get used to seeing you and come out more often. Just give it a little time.

Have some patience, it may take a couple days for them to feel corfortable enough to come out and explore. How did you acclimate them?

i put a cup of my tank water in the bag every 10 mins for 2 hours

don't have to worry about a sick fish the place i got them from don't and won't sell anything that is sick

I agree with regard to patience - it takes salt fish a little longer to become comfortable in the tank. I have also observed that as the mix of fish changes it will change the way they move around the tank. For example I added a bi-color chromis last to my tank. At that time the royal gramma was almost always hidden and the blue damsel was visible but in the rock structure. My scooter blenny was just doing his deal. The chromis really gets the other fish to move around alto more so the royal gramma will be out swimming in the water column more and the blue devil is a bit less hidden than before as well.
