My clownfish is at the bottom of the tank moving her body side to side, but not swimming. No coloration changes. What should I do? #fishmedic
 
Without any pics or a video, it’s impossible to say for sure what is going on.
Clownfish are pretty well known for weird behavior, so it could just be nothing. Hosting behavior is typically similar to what you describe, but in a host anemone or coral - though sometimes they’re weird and live anywhere.
 
The problem was that she was under a rock and I could only see the back of her. She’s now not visible. I even moved the largest rock in the tank and I still can’t find her.
 
@Jay Hemdal is a fishmedic. Without a picture, etc - its extremely difficult to tell what was going on - and - lets say it was a parasite, etc - I would be worried about the remaining fish. If you can't find a clown its very possible that its dead
