I have had these clownfish for about 2 weeks. The black one just stays down on the bottom. It looks like the orange one attacks it a lot are they just figuring out who the boss is still?

Watch fins and breathing closely

What do you mean, you think something is wrong?

Start clownfish compete together and they need to be around the same size, but if you have a maroon clownfish, it needs to be put with its own region

And if the clownfish is being bullied by the other fish, you need to take that fish out because you’re gonna all stress on the fish and that fish will die within hours

Could be dominance, watch closely
