Hi all, haven't posted here in a long while, but my little clownfish is acting funny today and i dunno whats up.

I woke up this morning and couldn't find my clown. After looking all over, i found him not moving, nestled up behind a rock.

i tapped the tank and he swam out and was wiggling and swimming around like normal.

a few hours later, i found him doing the same thing, but this time he buried himself in my mushroom corals, he wasn't wiggling his fins or anything.

Tank is a 10 gallon, nothing's really changed in over a year. I just did a 10% water change yesterday and maybe he didn't like that? I dunno, but he's never done this before.

I tested the water and Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, SG, and pH are all normal.

He's still acting funny, the corals and shrimp are all fine though, not acting strange at all.

any ideas?
 
Strange, any marks on him physically?

nope, i looked him over for cuts, spots, anything i could see.

nada.

Since i posted, he's basically rotating from stopping behind one specific rock, under a mushroom, and under a piece of leather. It fraeks me out cause it looks like he's dead or something. He just doesn't move. If i move close to the glass where he can see me or i tap on the glass, he swims off and acts like nothing's wrong.
 
Wish I could offer some miracle cure but alas I cannot. Hope he pulls through for you
 
really cheesy joke but maybe hes acting funny cause hes a CLOWNfish...sorry i had to. my 2 clowns always act weird they like shake and get in wars all the time and then they have little mini seisures it seems like but then they just go back to normal
