Help with Clown
My clown has be staying in the upper corner for 4 or 5 days. Nothing obviously wrong. Often he is straight up and down. I did not see home there this morning with lights out and thought maybe he was a goner, but lights on and he is back. Must go somewhere at night
He also comes around for feeding time. What's up with this guy? No visible signs of problems.

I assume he is tank raised? Have you had him long and is this new? I have had mine for almost 17 years and he likes to sleep like yours - vertical in a corner. All of my wild caught fish have always found a nook or cranny in the live rock when the lights go out, but the clown likes to sleep in a top corner. It used to worry me too, but that's just his thing. I would not worry unless you see something else unusual.

Mine host the overflow and rarely leave it. As long as the fish is eating you shouldn't worry.

Mine hangs out with my mag float. I think it's bonded to it now.

She might be lonesome. I bought a pair from Divers Den about a year ago. Her (I say her, as it was the largest of the two and I understand that the females are bigger) partner died about 3 weeks ago. I blame that loss on AlgaeX as I lost several fish and several fish and corals when using it. The algae remained unaffected.
