Hi!

We had a problem yesterday, where one of the powerhead decided to dislodge and disrupt the bedrock at the bottom of the tank.. all of the fish today seem to be doing well except for this one clown fish.

This clown has had issues over the past week and has been hosting a lot of coral and doing a lot of laying around. But ever since this morning, he’s been laying on his side.

Should I leave him alone and hope he gets better or should I put him in a rescue tank? May be difficult to get my hands on them if I decide to put them in the rescue tank.

Hi, not sure if you meant to attach a picture of video, but nothing is attached. Powerheads sometimes fall and its usually fine, and if your other fish are fish, then I would think the clown issue is related to your comment of "clown has had issue's over the past week". Anyhow, if you can post a short video, it helps the #fishmedics who will help you. Good luck

Sorry - here’s a photo. He’s breathing fine and has short bursts of energy but stays here for the most part.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Sorry, the picture isn't really clear enough for me to see much, can you post a video taken under white light? Hosting on Youtube works well if you can't post directly here.

Since the problem began before the issue with the powerhead, I suspect that isn't closely related (but perhaps it made the issue worse?)
