    ok, I know that clowns are named clowns because,well.......they are clowns. Here is my issue, I have a pair of perc clowns and one of them has not been eating for several days and today he was missing. I told my wife "Look! I cant find him hes just gone!" she goes to the tank and BAM! out he comes from the rocks, going crazy! swimming upside down, smashing his face into the substrate, just being really really weird! I have him in my acclimation box and hes been in there for about an hour or two. he seemd find so I put him back in and what does it do?!? SAME THING! going absolutely nuts! I dont know what to do!

    when a fish is about to die they will lose all ability to swim, or it could be swim bladder infection.

    i would keep an eye on it, when introducing a coral beauty into one of my tanks it would swim very strange and when i stuck my hand in the tank it would act fine, so when it is interrupted it will act fine

    i know the feeling like you cant do anything. if its a bladder infection feeding it ground up peas will help. sounds crazy but works
