Is my clownfish okay?

[dt98]

Hi guys, just wondering if this is normal clownfish behaviour, they have been in the tank for a few hours and I’m hoping it is just stress and not parasites of some sort!!
The larger of the two seems to be breathing heavy then returns to a normal rate of breathing and the other is just swimming around like a lunatic but breathing normal.
The readings are
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate 0.10
PH - 8.0
Temp - 78
Salinity - 1.025

they both ate earlier fine but keep having weird episodes. https://youtube.com/shorts/duocs_p1-VA?feature=share

Also is it normal for black ice snowflake to appear red in their bodies?

Are you 100% sure of your parameters, especially salinity, salinity readers are not the best, it could very well be too high.

The male looks normal but the female doesn't so it could just be stress from a new tank but I'm no expert.

I would turn the light off until things calm down tho, and no lights on a night at all.

Yeah I’m 100% sure of parameters, I have checked and checked again. I use a refractometer to test the salinity and it was reading 1.025 each time I tested.
Yeah I only put the lights on for a second just to get that video but they are turned off now and have been since they moved into the tank! Would you suggest just leaving them off until I know things are 100%? I’m worried that one of the fish might have flukes.
Also I did not QT the fish as they are the only ones in this tank and will be the only ones in there. Is that okay that I didn’t QT them?

Yes no reason to have the lights on when you don't have corals yet, it will help the fish settle.

Refractometers can be tricky, unless you calibrate them with a calibration fluid you know for sure is 35ppt then they can be off, using rodi water to calibrate them is not good enough, I was sure mine was correct, turned out it wasn't...this may not be the issue but it's a possibility.

I never QT my clowns, it's. a risk but feeding them well will help them build up their immune system just incase they have any health issues.

Might help if you can get a photo of the one you think has flukes, I'm not knowledgeable enough to help with that but worth posting a new thread and using the EMERGENCY subtitle on the thread so you get help from the guys that know about these things, the emergency title is in a drop down menu to the left of where you type in the title of the thread.
