Hello my black storm clownfish has been acting weird started this morning. I have another mocha storm clown and is normal. The parameters are all ok PH is normal, nitrate and nitrite are also normal and ammonia is at 0. I have a video too. It just swims in one spot facing downward. I’m worried he’s dying. He was eating well last night and goes for the food still.

I literally can’t see anything with how blue your light is. Post white light pics/vid
 
I have a clown that hasn't left the spot he is hosting for over a year. He only ventures about 5 inches when it's feeding time. In another tank I just added two clown, they haven't left this one corner in 2 weeks. My understanding is that clowns simply stay put in some cases.

Looks like it's contemplating if that Duncan would make a nice home.

I hope so because it stays in that same spot facing down but then swims around but then goes back to the same spot
 
then it’s probably nothing.
Ok so yesterday he was just fine then at 1:50am today, he’s laying on the sand bed and breathing heavy. The parameters are all great, ammonia at 0, nitrite at 0 and nitrate at 0 and PH at 8

Temp and salinity?

Temp is at 79 and salinity is .026 I tested it and it’s normal I even called the aquarium store I always go to and where they’ve helped me before but the clownfish is swimming around now. I have 3 anemones now and hope the clone host in one of those instead of the Duncan coral because they seem small still but they’ll host where ever they want
