Stressed out fish

I got my clown today and did the drip to get him ready to be put in the tank. Well He has been in there for a few hours and he looks so stressed. Swimming very fast back and forth and up and down. Just won't relax. Is this normal with a new fish? My damsel was nothing like this. This is my first clown. Thanks.

 

clowns are like that--they never seem to stop swimming

 

Really? Looks like he is going to bust through the glass he just looks unhappy.

 

Mine never stops moving---even in the morning when all the others are still--he just wiggles away.

 

This is more than a wiggle. Guess thats why i am concerned. He is darting up and down and in front of the tank. LIke he is trying to get out.

 

Relax--he is a little stressed right now---wouldnt you be?? He will settle in just fine. I am glad to hear your using the drip method!!!

 

Do you have a cave for him to hide in? My maroon clown rarely leaves his cave, and constantly sweeps the sand with his tail. And moves rocks with his mouth, and rearranges the coral, and pushes the snails around...they're very BUSY fish!

 

Yah have lots of places for him to hide. My damsel is in hiding. I have a nice toadstool for him as well. He just keeps swimming at the front of the tank looking for an escape.
