I've got a clarkii in a 10g nano that has recently started freaking out. It's biting; all hermit crabs, chocolate chip starfish, snails (turbo, nassarius, astrea) and frantically darts around the tank as well as flailing sand around the tank. All parameters are safely in check.

What's up with this guy?

IMHO, a 10gl tank is to small for most clarkii's. Especially if you're trying to keep other fish in the tank with them.

so really with all the live rocks and sand you may only have 7 gal of space. that is small.

Is it still too small even if he's the only fish in the tank?

I guess I'll have to move him to my new tank in a few weeks

I think your clarkii is a bit upset and probably not use to such small space you are providing it.
