    Don't know if this is normal behavior for perc clowns or not.

    In my nano, the female clown lies down on side in anemone and does not move for extended periods. Like taking a nap. No swishing around like usual.

    Have never seen my maroons do this in the main tank.

    Is this normal percula behavior :confused:

    Oh good. Glad to hear others do it. First time I saw her do it I thought she was dead also.

    THX!
