That happend to me already with my first percula he ate for a while when just sat down on the side of the rock and didnt make it.

How long was he in the tank for?

Did you check your salt levels?

Do you have anything that can sting the clown?

I had him in the tank for a couple of months now ....my salinity is .21 I have two bubble tips but the clowns go no where near them and ive had the clowns for 3 years .....but y is he so bloated?

Try checking the water temperature first. If the weather has changed and it is cold outside or your heater is malfunctioning this could cause this condition. If the temperature is fine this sounds like a bacterial infection. But try TMP Sulfa or Gentamycin Sulfate Powder.

1+ picture are important to figure the case on your fish.

Sounds like it's constipated.:Yikes: Not enough veggies and too much meaty foods will do it.
