Is this Flashing? Video:

[expo703]

My clowns are very small so its hard to see but I don't see any white spots or black spots on them but like I said its hard to tell.. They are my only fish besides a very large CUC still have no coral tank is probably month half old.

I did not QT them but I do have a QT tank cycling for last 2weeks and planned on QT any new fish(I did not QT my cuc just dropped them in..can they carry ich? I didn't use water from the bags from lfs or reefcleaners.org)

Thanks...I bought some cupermine and prazipro for my QT should be here next week.. suggestions?:debi::hmm2::fun5:

Does not look like flashing to me.

phew! So what would flashing be more like going against the sand or rock rather than the tank wall? he is very active swimmer and just seemed like he was trying to scratch himself against the wall..he doesn't do it all the time but randomly he will and was able to catch it on video.. I did introduce alot of new snails today and two apex wav's could be the extra flo? idk.. this isn't the first time I caught it though he was doing it about a week ago before cuc and new pumps.

This looks more like a social dominance act. Flashing will typically be a single fish trying to scrape its gills/sides on the sand or rock. You might even see scratches on the fish where it is scraping. It is pretty obvious once you've seen it.
