No video attached. That maroon will likely kill the oscellaris at some point. Housing them together is not recommended, especially in just a 15G tank.

Seems a bit agitated and possible breathing fast but it's hard to tell because its moving around so much. Can you take a full tank picture? Post full parameters, tank history, when you got the fish, etc...Is the other clown acting normal? Any inverts?

Still hard to tell if it's breathing rapidly or something going on with its mouth. I'd definitely rehome the oscellaris, just in that short video it was getting picked on and it has nowhere to go in a 15G.

Maybe someone else can see what's going on better in the video.

I agree, the fish is agitated and breathing too fast, but I can’t tell why.
Oxygenation sounds ok…..

Fish looks a little thin and is struggling.
Cant tell on breathing- is it breathing normal or labored?
What is ammonia level and if pellets are only food offered, diet is insufficient. You want to offer it brine shrimp, mysis shrimp and small plankton
Has the fish lost color?

When a fish struggles to swim up off of the tank bottom, but still eats well, I always suspect an under inflated swim bladder. That makes the fish sink. There is not a good cure for that however.

Today slept in sand bed

I saw your other post - it is best to keep with one post, it gets too confusing otherwise. Here is what I wrote on the other post:
