ocellaris clown problem.
I have 2 clowns and they seem to have been swiming in the upper left corner of my 55 gal tank. They have been in the tank for 3 weeks and today the smaller one swam to the very bottom of the tank and has stayed there all day. The larger one has been trying to protect him from the hermit crabs that have now started to grab at him. The smaller one will not move even though his tail is being snipped at, and now he is attracting more hermit crabs! Help! What do I do?
sg is 1.025 temp 80 all other readings 0 food: prime reef flakes & mysis shrimp

Lots of turbulance. I have 2 of my power heads pointing to the surface. Just got home and more of his tail is missing. The crabs keep going after him and he doesn't try to get away to quickly. The larger clown seems to be trying to push him away when he gets to close to crabs. If he parishes...how easy is it to bring in another a pair with the existing one? Hopefully it doesn't come to that!

Sounds like he might have some parasite, or other disease...
Best guess is that if you have aquaranteen system for it, put him in there and treat him... I'm not much of a disease diagnosis person so I can't help you too much on that note. Dave

thats definatly bad, if he's gettin snipped, qt. him and hope for the best. If he dies take out the est. clown in a "blank" tank to ruin his dominance. Get the new clown healthy and colorfull, and watch them feed it in the shop. P.S. re-arranging rock can also mess up dominance.
