so i just got home from vacation today and two of my corals on my sandbed werein funny positions: one was on its side and one was upside down. So im wondering how they got like that. My stocking is...
2 ocellarius clowns
1 royal gramma
1 cleaner shrimp
2 trochus snails
1 hermit crab
1+ nassarius snail ( i had another one but haven’t seen it in a long time)
Could one of these have flipped them? If i were to guess it would be the cleaner shrimp.
 
Did you have them glued down? Sometimes just flow or fish swimming by can knock them down if not adhered to the rock. Always happens when you're gone, or to a piece you forget about. (For me at least)

Likely the snail if they are not glued or in a rack.

They wernt glued, but were on the sandbed
 
My bet is on the hermit crabs then the clowns especially if they are trying to lay their eggs in that area.
I only have one hermit and dont see how it would be the clowns cause they don’t usually hang out in that area
