Is My Common Clown Braindead?

[Alex Brown]

I bought two tiny clowns yesterday for my 250L reef tank and they are brilliant!

However, the larger of the two has spent litterally the whole day doing figgures of 8's over the front glass, touching it. Is it ok or is somthing up?

THanks.

sounds normal to me, they take a while to settle

Stress response to the move. Swimming up and down the glass is a classic behaviour of stressed fish; they are trying to escape!! However keep a quite relaxed atmosphere and they will settle right down especially when they associate you with food. Every time they see you they will be up at the glass begging for food.
