Got a False Percula a few days ago, seems to have been doing just fine. I come home now, after being out of town, all the lights were out. He is staying in the corner of the tank, about 1/2 way down from the top, where the current is fairley strong. He is swimming against the current, straight up and down. Does not seem to be struggleing ( not breathing hard anyway) , But just doesn't seem right to me. I tried turning off the powerhead for that end of the tank, he just moved over to the other end, where the current was strong. Is this normal behavior?
Normal clown behavior?

Normal? Clowns ? :lol:
Sorry, I'm still laughing because I've been trying to catch some, and someone suggested I take out all the water and pick them up off the bottom..... :lol:
If no one is harrassing him, he's likely fine. Ocellaris don't always host easily (like with a powerhead, :roll: mushroom, or a rock, or even an anemone...) in captivity. Give him some time to settle in I think.

Thanks for the quick reply, Emily! Have had FW aquariums for years, this is my first attempt at SW. I do as much research as I can before I buy anything, but this kind of stuff you just don't find in books. He seems more relaxed now, just hanging around a powerhead. Maybe he'll adopt it
