They have tons of hidy-holes, but I have to hang a filter unit on the tank to
clear the trash out that gets stirred up during this. I suspect that some of
them make a break for it during this time. One time it will be a firefish; the
next time a chromis.

I've got about 120 pounds of live rock, plus a rats nest of dead elkhorn coral
for a small forest in a 125 gallon tank. When I put a scraper in to scrape the
glass, everybody disappears.
