Clownfish Rubbing

[Robobby21]

My clownfish just recently started rubbing on my live rock or anything it can like the powerhead or the heater. I have heard of rubbing before but i don't know what causes it. What should i look for or do to stop the problem? It's not really bad right now. I just noticed yesterday and i just have to catch her in the act because she doesn't do it very often but when she does she goes crazy. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Does she have what looks like grain of salt on her? or a white sheen? Any of the other fish show these symptoms?
Grains of salt is a symptom of ich while a white sheen is a symptom of velvet.

What about twitching of the body or head? This is a symtom of flukes.

There are no white spots or shine. She looks the same as she always has. And i don't really see her do it very often. There might be a little twitching but it's really hard to tell. If Flukes was the case, what would that mean? How is it treated?

sometimes, it's best just to watch situation and give good vitamins, good water, before jumping into a shoot from the hips approach. even if she has something, a good environment will keep this from getting out of control.

Flukes are very difficult to see with the naked eye. Sometimes the eyes will look cloudy. They will twitch their head/body, but don't always "flash" (scratch themselves on rocks/etc).
If the fish is not showing other outward signs of disease, then it's best to just wait and see.
