So for a couple weeks now, my clownfish have been hosting my torch coral. The torch doesn’t seem to mind the clowns constant nuzzling so it seemed fine at first. However, my female(who is under the torch coral in the video) has been there for the past week and a half, occasionally coming out to eat, twitch with the male, etc. however she spends the majority of her time down there and then occasionally steps out to frantically swim back and forth, then going back. The breathing seems fine to me and there’s no excess mucus build up. I’ve had these clowns for about a year now. Just wanted to know if this behavior is normal for her. To see the video you need to download it. Idk why its not loading normal when clicked on

Sorry-I can't see the video, but when clowns find a good host, they usually stay pretty close to it. If she's still eating, I wouldn't worry too much about it, keep an eye out for if she starts showing any signs of sickness
