Hello!

I am posting this on behalf of a friend who reached out to me regarding her clownfish. I am much more coral savvy, so I’m hoping that some of y’all may have a better idea of what’s going on.

Yesterday, her several year old Wyoming White clown was behaving/swimming normal. Later in the evening, it began swimming erratically and unbalanced. She placed it in an acclimation box to see if flow was affecting it. The strange pattern continued.

Today, the clown is swimming normal again - in and out of its nem. Have a look at the videos and let me know what you think!
