Aquarium Advice FINatic
I have an O clown which was hiding under the rocks for a few weeks and wasn't eating much (wouldn't come out until food had fallen out of reach). I recently added a bunch of snails and hermits, and since then he's been hanging out on the sand. he has been eating a bit better (frozen mysis worked) so I'm no longer worried that he'll starve to death.
however, now he is lying down on his side on the sand, only to come up when I approach the tank. he seems alert and interested, and as I said he does feed now. Is he just weird? Or is lying down on the sand always a bad sign? I have heard of clowns "hosting" with the sand, but it doesn't seem to be the case here as he doesn't distrub it at all. he just lies down on his side.
