I've heard it suggested that more hiding places available will make fish calmer just knowing that they have an escape route, such as a more open rock work with lots of places to dart into... that said my fish are the same even at feeding i have to drop the food in and walk away or they won't even eat, the single exception being my pipefish who could care less about me... or my teeny tiny lil bitty clowns that bite when i scrape algae
