Hi, this is my first tank and after 10 days since the fish went in, the smaller of my 2 clowns appears to fit for a few seconds every now and again. His body contorts and he vibrates very rapidly. This only lasts a few seconds and then he goes back to normal. The bigger one doesnt do this. They are lively and eat well although the smaller one eats significantly less than the bigger one (even accounting for their size). Is this normal or do I have a problem?

Many Thanks

p.s. all the levels are normal and well within limits. The tank is well cycled with mature live rock and a crab cleaning the bottom. (and eating all my other clean up crew!)
 
you'd be best posting this in the marine section if this is a saltwater tank.

however i've seen similar behaviour in clowns and wouldn't be too concerned, they're funny little fish!
