I was told by many people that these fish were difficult to keep due to their nervous nature and rarely seen.  In my tank the two that I have are always out in the open just hanging in one spot, not too much swimming going on, just laid back kinda strolling.  I have found them to sleep under Live Rock, and easily accept flake food and brine shrimp.  The top pictures were taken as they were right up in front of me watching me as I took the pictures, the bottom images were taken when they were first introduced into the tank.
