Hey everyone, I have had a pair of ocellaris clowns for about four months now and everything has been going great. But the past few days the male clown has just been staying under an arch in my tank and not moving much. When i feed them he slowing swims to the food like hes scared and just nibbles on it and doesnt go after it like he used to. I am just wondering if eerything is ok with the little guy or is he sick? Any input is needed. Thanks in advance.
 
He might be getting bullied buy the female who is trying to show him who is going to stay the female - her! Have you seen her pick on him at all? Are others in the tank harassing him?
In my 12 limited months experience with clowns, if they are eating, they are okay. Clown also have some really weird behavior at times, but I've learned, again, if they are eating, they will most likely be okay.
 
when I first put my 2 in the tank they would bully each other around to see who was going to stay the female after about a week the smaller one stopped harrassing the bigger one now they get along just fine I would say as long as it eats hopefully with time he will start to come back out of his shell
