Clownfish Sleeping Habits

[Offdutyninja1]

Searched for a few days with no results.

My 25 gallon tank has two occ clowns that have very strange sleeping habits.

1st, when the moonlight goes off at night they lose their minds. Back and forth along the front glass, clamping Fins at what I assume is their reflection, and diving from the surface to the bottom and back up rapidly.

2nd, the few times I've turned the lights on in their room after bedtime they are in the corner hit by the powerhead, facing the surface, swimming as fast as possible. The shock of the lights has made them tumble all over the tank before, so I'm careful to keep the room dark now.

Their tankmate, a banggai cardinal, sleeps near the bottom on the other side of the tank.

They spend almost zero time in this corner during the day, preferring opposite sides of the heater, the powerhead, or the open center of the tank.

Anyone have clowns like this?

My clowns are crazy. For awhile, when the daylights went out and the moonlights came on, the female with get in front of the powerhead and swim like crazy. The male could be all over the tank. For the last couple of days the female has remained on the bottom of the tank under a rock all the time, except during feeding in the evening. She did this for 3 days and suddenly came back out and hanging with the male again this morning. Maybe spawning?? Who knows, crazy I say!
