strange behavior

[sarinaruu]

today my male clownfish took an interest in nuzzling the skimmer, normally they sleep against the back wall but both the male and female pair keep twitching on it. are they trying to host it? i’ve never seen him twitch besides when he is submitting to the female.

They are probably laying eggs there or planning it.

Common clown behavior. They regularly try to use weird stuff as a host. Unless the female is at least 2 years old they won’t be laying eggs as that is about the age of sexual maturity.
