My Tomato Clown sleeps face down

My Tomato Clown is normal, fine, and sometimes school with the Chromis.

When he sleeps, he sleeps vertical, with tail up, and nose down in the corner.

Normal?

And he is the only fish that sleeps in the open.

Is it because I don't have a host anemones? or all the good places to hide are taken?

Not kidding, this morning I saw him sleeping the opposite. Tail down, and nose up.

Is that normal for a fish?
