Multi-Color Angel and Light Intensity

[Tremelle]

I bought a multi-color angel on 2/8. Right out of the bag it swam around the tank and ate. On 2/13 I cleaned the lens on my pc lights . I have 260 watts of pc lighting on the tank. Now it stays behind the rocks and will not come out into the open. When I feed, it eats what the current takes behind the rockwork. I can get good looks at it and see no signs of anything physically wrong. I am curious if the intensity of the lights has scared it into the subdued light behind the rockwork? I know the tank inhabitants are not harassing it. I also know the multi-color angel is a deep water fish. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My multicolor angle is house in a 55 gallon with 2-150W 20K metal halide and is actively swimming everywhere, so I don't think the light intensity matter. My angle at first was like that until I introduce a cleaner wrasse and begin to come out along with the wrasse. I also trained them to eat flake, so now they recognize when I have the bottle out they would immediately swimming toward the top for it. Hope this help you.

Muti-color is a "shy" fish... Given an enviroment with proper hideouts, this fish would prefers to hide.
