hi, i got two ocellaris clownfish four days ago, and so far havent seen them sleeping. i go to bed kinda late so i check on them before i sleep and theyre the only ones in my tank still awake. they eat just fine, im just wondering if this is a normal thing for adjusting clownfish

its a 20 gallon tank with 4 other fish

sorry if this isnt formatted right this is my first post here
 
I don't think my clowns ever sleep, no matter what time I check the tank, they are always swimming in their goni corals. All my other fish have their night time hiding spots, but the clowns never move from their corals and never stop swimming in them.
 
They are probably just acclimating to your tank, I wouldn't worry about it

Hmmm. Mine actually lay down on a coral or sand bed. 🛌
Yours are actively purposefully swimming?
