They are nocturnal so check them at night to see where they are. They usually come out then to eat any uneaten food or detritus.

You don't really need a skimmer on a small tank like this because weekly water changes will do the trick. It doesn't mean that a skimmer wouldn't work on your tank though, it would just work to a...

I also believe you have enough light for a haddoni, I've kept ones under PC's before. I kept one under high wattage MH's in a shallow water frag tank before and it didn't like it very much.
