Hey all, so I recently have been noticing my clownfish lays on the sand. I’ve noticed it for the past week. I have to take the video from far away because if not it’ll start swimming around which I guess is a good sign? I’ve taken a close look at it and I don’t see any visible bacterial infections or any deformities of any kind. I’ve had it for about a year now, was very little when I got it so my guess is that is under 2 years old.

When I got home from work today it was there but immediately started swimming around when it saw me. It eats when food is introduced just fine. Tank parameters seem okay, everyone else in there is doing just fine. Is this just odd clown behavior or should I be concerned?

I see you have 2 clowns, may have layed eggs and protecting them, I had a pair and they layed eggs. I believe this is common.
