Sick clown?

[steelwrap]

Got a clown I've had for a few years, the last 4-5 days it has been staying head up in front corner or just of sand treading water on its side. When it does swim it's leaning badly to one side. Nothing new added. Not spots or obvious sickness or trauma. Any ideas?

I'm far from an expert but If I've learned anything it's that clowns are very weird. My little guy stayed facing down into the sand bed in the corner of the tank for 3 days then out of the blue went back to normal. I think the name Clownfish was given to them because of how weird they can be... this may be a lil different in your case

Nothing new? Not even corals/inverts?

Did they come on plugs? Parasite tomonts (ich, velvet, brook) can encyst to any hard surface.
