Ocellaris Clownfish Behavior

[gozetec02]

I have 2 of Ocellaris Clownfish and one of them is spending alot of time on the sand behind a rock just sitting there sometimes it will move around a fan the sand and move it out of the way and kind of make a little indention in the sand. I notice this behavior at night and not during the day.

Anyone know what is happening?

They have been in the tank since Sunday.

Tank Specs:
Ammonia 0.25
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
PH 8.2

Yep, my tomato clown brushes away the sand from around his anemone.

amen, both my clowns do the same thing

Oh ok. I got a little worried. An anemone is coming very soon after i get the appropriate lighting.

Get one if you must but the clownfish dosen't "require" one. Anemone's are very hard to keep sometimes, comes from most of them are wild caught I think. I have had 8 or so in the past year (before I found out how hard they are to keep) and if mine die off again I'm going to put a rubber band anemone in the tank. Sometimes I wished I didn't have the one in my tank with the tomato, all he does all day & night is wallow around in his anemone and only comes out for feeding. and to chase the stray intruder away.
