|  lazy clownfish
I have a false percula that finds a low flow area when the lights go out and just lays down he seems perfectly healthy, he will start swim again if i walk by the tank.does anybody else have a perc or another clown that lays down on the sand at night

My clown takes after her owner, and is therefore insomniatic so I never see her resting. However, if your clown is recognizing you and coming out to greet you and is swimming normally during the day I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure its eating, swimming, and that you are keeping an eye on your water params.
