Not concerning, not sure how or why they bubble up. There are many speculations

Mine is usually bubbled up. No clowns in it, low flow. I didn't put it in low flow. Hides away in a rock half way. It would be nice to see what others say.
Picks fights and loses. You can see the damage on the guy.

Not concerning. But all the anemones I had would stop bubbling after hosting my maroon clown.

I have a maroon clown but he don’t ever go into any anemones he’s spent years without a host. So I think he just doesn’t know to go in one.

I’d like to have a clown to host an anemone, you think I can get an other clown I have a 220 gallon tank I’m wondering if it will work out

Anemone hosting clowns is never a sure thing. If you only have 1 clown now, another is fine. Make sure the new introduction is a juvenile and smaller than your current clown. Also best to have an acclimation box for touchy situations.
