We just got this clownfish on Saturday and he looks funny to me. He also spends a lot of time hiding. We have one other clownfish on the tank that we got a few weeks ago who is totally fine and also about double the size. Does the new one look okay? I'm going to call the fish store when they open at well but thought I'd ask here. I saw about clownfish disease and I don't notice heavy breathing he doesn't dart around and seems to eat okay when he comes out. Thoughts?

I'm guessing you didn't QT him. I'm guessing its not a bred clownfish? Ie wild. Its pretty normal for clownfish to take some time to be acclimated to the rest of the fish. I would woatch carefully for disease. Consider prepping a hospital tan (which is not a bad idea in any case) - and going from there. Unless you have more specific symptoms
