New Coral Beauty

[oceanluv]

Hello! I have a newly established FOWLR and have 2 clowns that have been living happily for the past 2 months. I decided to get a new CB and add it to my 36g and he has been swimming around like crazy! Up and down and side to side- seems to be an anxious pattern. He’s double the size of my 2 clowns and my water parameters are on point- could it be that my clowns released territorial hormones that have given him stres? I’ve seen them swim close to him but then go in the opposite direction…no nipping- He doesn’t seem to notice their presence during his frantic swim. is this all normal behavior or should I be concerned? Also, CB was pretty active in LFA which was why I picked him. Please and thank you!

how long have you had the fish? not uncommon for new fish to glass surf a bit? also how did you acclimate?

Also, and before everyone else says it. . . tank is to small. . .

The tank is half the "recommended" tank size for coral beauty. Small tanks are stressful for fish.
