Yes this is black and white. I’m at work and watching my camera at home. The fish in the back has been floating/stuck to the bottom of the filter fins. She won’t move much from there anymore. The other clown will come bump her or swim around her and she will move again sometimes.
My 6 line wrasse seems to be fine. Had parameters check at lfs two days ago. Can anyone help? Had the clowns for 12 days
 
Any signs of disease? I would be suspect of a parasite with the behavior, being a newer fish and sounds like you didn't QT?

I’m brand new to hobby and didn’t get a QT tank.. been in hobby about two-three weeks. Used turbo start to cycle tank. Had lfs test water about 3 times since then.

Got ya. With a tank that new, you may not be processing ammonia properly yet as well.
 
Is it a new fish tank, and if so how long has it been set up for. I'm sorry about your Clownfish being in this way

Yes. I set up about three weeks ago. Used turbo start and have had lfs test waters three times. Said it was perfect every time.
 
Yes it may have been fine, but sometimes the waste can slowly build up until the tank can no longer handle it.

You should test the water sample again as soon as possible to look for ammonia.
Also an emergency water change can help if ammonia is raised.

Was planning on going to lfs once i got off work. Looking into getting a protein skimmer possibly to help with the waste.
