    I got my order today from reefs2go. Everything was healthy looking and very much alive! About 2 hours into acclimation (Drip) one of the Maroon Clowns started laying on bottom like he was serverly stressed but the other looked great and up until that point so did the one laying down.

    Everything else is alive and well, peramiters where great before and after the addition of all the livestock.

    The clown is now laying on bottom on his side only moving when a hermit or snail cruises by. Lights have been out for about 2 hours now to give him comfort.

    Could this just be stress or another element?

    Thanks in advance!

    Could be. I usually keep the lights off the rest of the day then put them back on a regular schedule. Hopefully he should be ok tomorrow.
