I have had my tank for around 2 years now, and my fish are fine, however just today, the smaller of my clowns was swimming in the corner with the most flow, and occasionally laying on the sandbed. I turned the flow off, and he got up, slowly swam around, then got bullied by the other clownfish. I saw another thread that looked like the same thing and their clown died. Any recommendations on how to prevent the same thing? And, no, it is not “clowns just being clowns”.

I'm sorry about your fish.

You'll likely need to provide more information, as well as pictures (a video would be better) before anyone will be able to offer any advice.
