Not per se but clowns are goofy. Other tank mates fine? Ph and alkalinity are up? Ie o2 is in the water? If not id increase exchange.

Yeah all levels are stable. I think he was just being goofy.

If he resting for the night usually normal

Mine sometimes sit in the corner and make/pop bubbles

Lol yeah hes just weird. Lol

Mines do it often when the lights turn blue and go off i guess they picked their resting spot

My clowns sleep on their side at the water surface at night. Usually next to the return pump cuz it’s the corner and doesn’t get any aggressive flow.

It is normal, once you get coral in there and learn to host them, then they will sleep on or between your corals

Sad news guys, i woke up today to my emerald crab munching on my clown fish :(

Oh no! Sorry to hear 😞

I've had a Picasso clownfish for about a month now. And he roams the tank wonderfully all day long, eats great, and every night goes to the back upper corner of the tank for a safe place to spend the night, and I'm told that's completely normal.
