My clownfish is eating pellets from a feeding ring. After he grabs some pellets floating on the surface he releases an air bubble from his mouth or, occasionally, his anus. Is this ok?

Aren't the pellets supposed to be sinking ones anyway? Maybe they're too dry when it eats them. Personally, the odd time I feed pellets I 'throw' them downward into the water so they start sinking right away.

Yes, he farts though he burps more often.
It take a day before they break the surface and sink (the NLS pellets are 6mo old kept in the fridge). If i release the pellets under water he catches a few and rest just end up on the sand.

Can't comment on the burping and farting :smile: , but ...
I moisten the pellets under water for 10-30 seconds and then they sink when I drop them on the water
I've tried the feeder ring idea in the past and found it to be a pain
And, as was mentioned earlier by MKLKT, when I want them to sink now, I just throw them at the surface
