Are these guys ok?

[CWalters]

Hey guys. First fish in the tank. These guys were swimming back and forth yesterday. (Only been on the tank for 18 hours so far) and this is what I woke up to this morning. No luck with them eating TDO pellets yet.

Water Parameters are good
PH - 8.2
Salinity - 1.025
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 5

Oh yes they are fine. They are just waking up from their current safe spot. Clowns love the corners of tanks, overflows, and filters. Most clowns actually host one of these or a favorite rock before they will an anemone.

Thank you! What’s the best way to make sure they are eating? I turned my pump and wave maker off so the pellets wouldn’t go down the sump, but obviously can’t leave it off all day.

Clowns are usually pretty good at catching food, they may need a day or two to acclimate so dont freak out if they dont eat for a couple days. Getting clowns to eat is probably the last thing id be worried about.
