My clown fish has been acting weird. Constantly laying on their side, but will swim when I walk up to the tank. Their color looks great, I don’t see any signs of an illness. I’ve had this clown for 7-8 years now. However. There does appear to be a slight purplish mark on their one side, but I personally thought it was from rubbing up against a rock or something. I can’t post pictures for some reason… I’m sure that would be much more helpful..

It can be a few things but let’s start with a video when you get a chance for best assessment
Best under white light intensity and at less 20 seconds
