I added a pair of clownfish to my DT today.. I see them sticking to near the top half of the tank closer to the overflow.. ocellaris is even sticking its mouth a few times out of the tank similar to how freshwater fish do.. flow seems to be high for these little guys, but guess I shouldn’t reduce it to keep supporting the other live stock in my 230g tank. Is this normal clown behavior? I have always seen them closer to the base in a low flow area.. will they settle down eventually after exploring the tank? I also noticed one of the pectoral fin of the black storm had some damage, that maybe adding to difficulty in swimming as well.

Here is a small video:

yea looks like way too much water flow but i've never tried clowns only freshwater fish and corals, maybe add one of those little hidey-hole things to provide a place to rest, sleep, and hide, overall greatly reducing stress hopefully.
