Orange Skunk Clownfish, Strange behavior

[paddyob]

My pink skunk used to host the corner of the tank. He did the same thing. Sat in one place until feeding.

Clowns are tough. I'll have a look this weekend when I am down.

I would watch from the distance what green chromis does. They can be bullies in a small tanks, spatially if there is only one.
I have a friend with one chromis in a 75gal tank and no one is allowed to come out if it feels like terror.

This is true, however, "most" of the time clowns can hold their own.

Not yellow skunks. I have a pair and they can't stand up to anyone. They are very mellow species in general.

my pinks were aggressive

Hes been much more active today, still spending time under the water flow but exploring the rocks more.

First of all I have had clowns that used to lie sideways under a hob filter..healthy as horses and ate like pigs. I wouldn't necessarily push any panic buttons yet. Is there a nem or small area for it to hide? I would also be remiss to suggest a larger tank. 30g is best for this fish as is the golden rule for a lot of clownfish. I have raised them in a 15g to a fairly large size with a nem, but have since transferred them to a 140g. Much happier. If this is a very small fish you will be fine for a while, but you might want to try a small nem in the tank as well. But plan for a bigger tank.
