fish rubbing on rock??
 
i have noticed on of my clowns and my royal dotty back rubbing up against the rocks they dont show any signs of ich what could this be

Ich and flukes usually start from fish gills. You can't see the other symptoms at that early stage. I would start treatment ASAP.

Even though you may not be able to see the Ick, its probably still it.

good luck!

Try and let the cleaner control it, he will enforce cleanliness in his tank ahaha, trust me, if i even so much as stick my hand in the tank with a hang nail he will try and jump on me to rip it off haha.

Soak food in garlic and try and keep your hands out of the tank.

A cleaner shrimp is'nt going to fix your problems. Read and follow Wayne's advice.
