Anyone know if there are different sleeping patterns in different clowns? We have two pair, one set sleeps still laying together while our Darwin's sleep together but in constant motion. Is the a sign of unease or distress?
 
I've owned quite a few different clowns over the years and they are hands down my favorite fish.
My Clarks complex clowns sleep laying down in the sand(they snuggle if you have a pair)
My Percs and occs sleep in their host or the top of the tank.
My maroons sleep next to their host or nesting sight.
 
Mine sleep in the top corner of the tank. Sometimes they get stuck to the overflow, I've thought they were dead so many times when I first got them. Now it's just normal
 
When I fist got my true percs they slept swimming constantly in the bottom corner of the tank were the powerhead hit the corner and disapaited. Since I have a nem they sleep in it almost motionless, wedgeing themselves into it.
