Clown fish behaving weird

[Asil 1976]

Hi I have 2 clown fish and added a goby yesterday since then the clowns have been swimming around like crazy and not really eaten much. I have checked all levels which are good is this normal?

Welcome! I can't advise for certain without a video, but this sounds like normal behavior for clowns getting introduced to a new environment.

Please place pics and video (at least 30 seconds) under white lighting for best assessment.
Are they breathing normal or labored?
Any loss of color?

They just looked agitated by the new arrivals. Probably will settle down. See what vetteguy53081 thinks.

I did think that, but as I am new to the hobby I think I am panicking slightly .

Yes and good quality. Clowns look spunky and normal and its typical for them to follow their reflection on the glass and swim all crazy like they are on drugs- Hence called clowns LOL. I see no issues and signs to look for are:
Rapid breathing
Loss of color
Poor appetite
tail nipping
mucus around face
hiding in corner

Feed brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, TDO pellets and LRS nano frenzy
