clowns sleeping on sand?

My 2 clowns normally sleep in the lower front left corner, near the sand still swimming.

They dug a hole 1" deep on the front glass and are sleeping in it, not swimming at all, not moving.

I thought they were dead or something as I'm in a huge phytoplankton bloom, can't see at 6" green water.

Mine did the same under a rock tho. It was a pain cuz the fish would move alot of sand around.
