strange clownfish

[El Langostino]

Woke up this morning to see my false percula swimming around frantically, bashing into the walls of my tank. It's really strange as I've never seen it act this way. It is usually scared to come out of it's territory for fear of the maroon clown but this fish really looks insane right now. What could the problem be?

Usually the maroon won't allow to perc to swim around like this with full range of the tank but today he's barely doing anything. COuld this be because I tunrned my lights on a few hours earlir than I normally do today?

Have you tested your parameters to see if something might be off chemically to cause such erratic behavior?

Also look closely at the fish themselves. Might possibly be coming down with something. Most likey your water parameters are off.

Just had my water tested the other day, parameters are fine nitrates were virtually undetectable. I turned my lights back off and he seems fine now. That is ridiculous as hell that he would react so strangely to me turning on my lights like 3 hours early at most, sheesh, that fish is getting on my nerves.
