motionless perc, (NO its not dead)

[NanoClown]

ok so i just recently added a true percula to my nano where i already have a false perc, they got along great the first 2 days, but now today my true perc has been acting lazy. all he/she does is lay on the peice of rock that my seabea(?) anemone is by, my false perc has been trying to get he/she to move, but it just doesnt want to, it just lays there motionless(but it is alive and healthy, will move to get some food) all day! i was wondering if this was normal to mateing, or even at all

I dont think after 3 days they would be ready to mate, I have never seen this behavior from either 2 pairs of my clowns all I can think is stress

i don't think a healthy clownfish should do that... clownfishes wiggle even when they sleep...

Agreed. Even when they're hosting all nice and sandwiched in my leather, they still squirm/wiggle at least every 10-15 seconds.

its either really stressed, or got beaten up
