Clownfish acting weird

[jordimex]

So I've had a pair of clownfish for over a month, last week I decided to change where my gyre was positioned to have some better flow in the tank, one of the clownfish is swimming all over the tank and hanging out with a blue hippo tang, the other one has been swimming on one corner like of its struggling to swim, attached is a video of it, should I worry about him? Or is this another case of weird clownfish behavior.

I would say it is just clown behavior since he doesn't seem to be showing signs of disease or fast/heavy breathing. Turn off the flow for a little bit and see if he moves away and swims normally because it seems like hes just caught in the flow and trying his best to swim out.

I actually just fed the tank and turned off the flow, he stayed in the same spot while eating.

hmmm he might just be trying to host that spot? My clown is currently hosting the back corner of my tank.

thats my only guess, he does seem to sometimes be swimming to the top, as if trying to jump. I will turn down the flow a bit and keep observing.

So if my clowns decide to host the back right corner along the glass, will they be there permanently?
