I was thinking of marking this emergency since the clowns just kinda lying on the sand breathing a little heavier but then I realized its a clown

I light my tank from the side and noticed him lying here so ofc I panicked a bit. I took the light away and immediately he starts swimming. Anyone else got this problem?

**after observing him for a bit I think it may be a swim bladder issue. He can swim around but after getting tired he drops back down. Anyone have any suggestions?
