Hi All - Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on what's happening here??

The clownfish are new. Had them a week. About 2 days ago I came home to this. He basically won't leave the corner. When he does, he swims fine but it was brief. He left a few times yesterday but I think he's been there all day today, in the same position. Not really eating either. There are two cleaner shrimp, a coral beauty and a leopard wrasse in the tank with them. Everyone else seems fine. It seems like he's stressed?

It a 65G. Parameters are fine and it's 7 months old.

Any help is appreciated

The torn fins look like aggression but that may be from the initial bickering of dominance between the two.

Other than that I’d say your clowns are hosting a corner of the tank. My clown rarely ever leaves her hosting area (My weed yuma).
