That picture was taken under a very large overhang,with my lighting plus extra lighting from my buddy.Normally these fish huddle together ,in groups when they are sleeping at night.It makes them look a lot bigger,when the night predators are prowling.

Do the lights not scare them away?? That looks like you were able to stage them there, very neat stuff!!

Yes it startles them,but less 5 mins after the picture was taken they was back in the same position.Quite a lot of fish on the reef,sleep in the same place nightly.Fish sleep with there eyes open,most have no eylids like us
humans.
