Does anybody else have a maroon clown that likes to rearrange? I think mine has a personal dislike of a small garden of purple palys in my tank. It likes to fling them around. It also really likes to spit rock at my Duncan and apparently wasn’t a fan of my Stylo place t as it put its nose against the drag and bolted forward to flog it off the rock!

Mine (also a Maroon Clown) likes to dig out the sand around one of the back corners to make a little bowl. He will pick up shells and larger chunks of substrate and try to move them around. He also does "clownfish burnouts" to move sand.

However, what he can't do is make too big of a mess, so it doesn't bother me at all. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about my Golden Head Sleeper Goby....

Mine likes to drop a plastic grate with palys on it on top of my other corals! Does dig a hole in the back corner but that doesn’t bother me lol
