Hi again sorry I’ve literally posted maybe once a day on here what the heck is my clown doing now is this normal first time I’ve seen it do it

Yes, this is unusual.

Yes, this is unusual.

What should I do?

 

[Fish Fan]

It looks stressed, is the other Clown aggressive towards him?

Is he able to see his reflection?

Not in that part I don’t think it’s plastic

It well could be the aggression that's stressing the smaller fish.

They are both the same size I think maybe me adding new additions today could have stressed it out seems to act erratic when I add new corals etc

I don't know, I'm not a fish behavior expert, but the one fish looks stressed by something. Could be something you added, but the other Clown is clearly being aggressive, so I'd keep my eye on that too. Make sure he's got several good hiding spots to pick from.

Okay it tends to hide by the flow maybe that’s it’s safe space they get one fine aswell swim with one another I have been watching closely since the nudging started I also just pulled a worm out of there is this possible it stressed it out is that something that happens?

Ah just seen the second clip - if they’re brand new and similar sizes the aggressive one may be asserting dominance to become the female. (If they weren’t paired already ).

If it keeps getting bad you may need to give him a little isolation spot so he can rest.

Okey dokey yeah I have been reading up on it some people say it’s normal but then I feel like he’s being abit too aggressive sometimes and that worries me I am keeping an eye on it though thanks.
