Does anyone have suggestions?

I also have a pair of very "timid" watchmans...my observation is that they become very much less "timid" when they get hungry enough. May not see them eat for couple of days, then all of a sudden they are out gobbling with the rest of them (as long as the big shrimp goby is not too close by.

)
