I have two true percula clowns, one of them (the smaller of the two)seems fine, the larger one has the following sysmptoms: pinched stomach (has some interest in food but is not eating much if at all), long(2")-thin-white feces, lazy (doesnt swim around much and confined to one area, I wouldnt call it hiding). I bought the clowns together at my LFS 3 weeks ago, they were in the store for 4 weeks before I got them, also gave a preventive dip of methynle blue before adding to the tank. Both were initially acive and eating, "sick" behavior started a few days ago.

Tank specs: 3.5 months old, 55 gal., 2" CC, 6x gph w/ wet/dry, skimmer, FLO, 12 lbs LR

Am & Ni = 0
Na = 20, ph=8.2
spec. grav. 1.022
temp = 80

Tank mates: (2 clowns allready mentioned), 4-strip damsel, white cheek tang, coral beautyEveryone gets along good as far as I can tell, no aggression. Other fish are active.

You may also want to consider post your question in the fish disease forum. People there saved my false percula......
