Clownfish resting on rocks?

mzolkos · Jun 19, 2020

Hello, Ive had a tank running for a couple months I only have a cuc, coral and 2 clown. Today all of sudden the bigger one started laying on the rock. Shes eating and swimming, not sure if im over reacting but it seems weird. I dont see any white spots either. Thanks for any help.

Is there anything else like swimming into flow, scratching on anything, heavy breathing?

Not that ive been able to notice, it seems like its guarding this area or something?

Yeah, from what I have seen and read about clownfish, they're just weird like that.

Yup and the anemones are weirder

My tiny maroon has been swimming head first into a corner of the tank for 3 weeks, only going elsewhere for food. Poor guy, he's going to be put in the DT soon.

Update: both male and female are guarding spot, werent around it much during the day but now are, still eating perfectly

They may have found their home. They will hang out and eventually lay eggs and then guard. Very nice and normal. Nice to see them actually together. Sometimes the female prefers to be alone most of the time (except when necessary).
