New clown mated pair hovering at bottom

Got these guys about a week ago

The past few days they have been swimming the front of the tank today they both started hovering towards the bottom. Should I be worried?

They are breathing normal and eat some

They don't show any whites spots those are just corralline specks on the glass

 

are they eating? If they are I wouldnt worry about them. Clowns are a weird fish and will find the oddest places to live. I have a picasso that host the back left corner of our SPS tank and a pair of black clowns in our LPS tank that is trying to host a large open brain. They have been working on trying to host it for a week now.

 

They are eating some, not too much though.

They are still new though so I figured it would take some time. They dont seem to have any trouble swimming if they want to get food but just hover in the front at the moment

 

Now they are hovering right below my flower pot coral... maybe they are trying to host...

 

Things host clown fish. Clown fish do not host things. (I've made the same mistake many times)

Anyway, my clown pair has been making a brain coral their host but recently I setup a little plastic cage to shield the coral. Now the pair just stays at the bottom together, a lot like what you are describing. I'd say just give them some time to figure out where they want to go. And hope its somewhere you want them to go.

 

Clownfish are just weird that way. Mine hangs out at the bottom in the back for about 2 hours after the lights go on and then comes to the front to feed for about 4 hours.

As long as the fish has no spots or tattered fins, good coloration, still feeding I would just chalk it up to normal clownfish behavior.

 

normal, mine liked to stay at the front lower corner almost lying down at times. They are not called clown's for nothing(god that is dry humor).
