Clownfish acting erratic

[mdbueno1977]

Apologies for the long Thread. 2 days ago I moved my Duncan from one side of the tank to the other. It had been staying closed more and I thought there was too much flow hitting him because of the new powerheads I have recently purchased. He's open fully now and swaying away happily. Now both my clownfish have switched to that side of the tank and one stays in the back corner. This one is swimming up and down, swimming backwards against the wall at the corner and didn't seem to eat this morning. The other clown is swimming around like a fish should. I've had both clownfish since late March and the Duncan since May. All water parameters are good and all other fish and corals are doing good. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you. I've read that clowns will sometimes choose a Duncan as their home and maybe that's why he was closing up. The clown ate tonight. I'm just a concerned parent because I've put a lot of time, effort & money into my tank (like many others) and want to make sure I'm providing the best environment for my inhabitants.
