Welcome to R2R!

If this fish was just added, it may be a bit stressed and just needs more time to become accustomed to your tank. Turning the lights down may help reduce stress.

Very typical spot when newly introduced and mat be intimidated by the other clown.

i turned my lighting down to 30%, was almost immediately she came out of the corner but then returned. seems more active with the light down. with them being new will i have to introduce them to the lights over time ?
