Clown acting strange.

One of my clowns is acting weird today. Laying on the bottom and hiding in a crevice and hasn't moved all day. Any ideas? And no I don't know the water parameters but nothing has changed in the tank in months.

Two other clowns, four green chromis, one blue azure damsel, seven hermit crabs and one convict blenny/engineer goby. 90 gallons with 30 gallon sump.
 
In that case I suspect the other two clowns have paired up and are now picking on him. Best would be to remove him to a QT for further observation.
If it is indeed aggression he should get back to normal soon.
 
I would watch the fish's interactions with the other fishes. If the other clowns have become mated they could become very aggressive to other clownfish.
 
I have experienced the same scenario. The pair started attacking the "3rd wheel", and it had to hide under rocks. I ended up taking it to my friend's tank.
 
Haven't seen any eggs. Put him in quarantine and seems completely healthy. Seems like the final outcome is he was being bullied. I am currently trying to find him a new home.
