    I haven't seen mine sleep in the hole, but it does dig a hole with his tail. I can fill it in, and he'll just do it all over again. He won't stop until he has cleared the sand down to the glass.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Yes fish sleep and perfectly normal for clown fish to disturb the sand and appear to sleep in a depression.

    I have a Tomato Clown, he dosnt dig... at the moment, but sometimes early in the morning he'll be floating on top of the water, sleeping I guess. But hes not sick, swims around during the day, eats fine, I guess theyre just weird fish.
