Welcome to Reef2Reef!!! We're glad you're here! It is hard to tell from the picture, but if you look at the belly area it should be rounded and not dip in.

Welcome to Reef2Reef! I agree with most folks on the pic, but your clown looks healthy. I'd be worried if the stomach was shrunken in, but yours looks to be fine. How often are you feeding?

Welcome! Just make sure to keep em fed well and you should be fine. I offer mysis soaked in selcon and pellets soaked in zoe. I feed mysis in the am and the pellets in the afternoon, these are small portions as to not overfeed. Good luck!

As long as not sunken in and it responds to feedings, no concerns
Welcome to the R2R community

recommended foods:
Medicated and color flakes
Spirulina brine shrimp
Formula 1 frozen
LRS fish frenzy
Mysis shrimp
Mysis pellets

add garlic extract and selcon vitamins to the foods
