just got my ocellaris and he seems to spend a lot of time swimming at the top of the tank. Do they normally do this?
 
How much flow do you have in the tank? Is the surface of the water getting much movement? What is your Ammonia at?
 
Give the fella a little time to adjust to the new place. It is common for new clowns to spend the first few days (or weeks) at the surface (usually in a corner).
 
Yeah mine all do too I have lots of rbta's on a rock and they won't even go in it:(
