My Ocellaris Clowns are the first SW fish in my first SW tank and I now know why they are called clowns, such odd interesting little fish they are! Coming from FW, never had fish act like this, but I do know they "sleep" in funny places and positions. Got to love them!!

So, where do your clowns sleep?

I added a pair of SA Onyx to my tank some time back. They slept in a couple different places. I then added a pair of Pylei Fairy Wrasse.The male did not like my female Onyx. I gave them a couple weeks to work it out, but it didnt work. So I put the clowns and my GBTA in a critter keeper until I could find a new home for the wrasses. Onces The wrasses were gone, I let the nem and clowns back out. They sleep in the nem...

When they aren't in the corner together, the picasso sleeps face down in corner, the other sometimes on his side at the top (thought he was dead the first time I saw it!)

Mines sleep in the top left corner near the surface and it drives me crazy. I will never have a tank in my bedroom again. They constantly splash water throughout the night. I love them so much so i deal with it.

Mine slept up behind the return on my HOB filter. When I first got them, I'd always be afraid that they escaped somehow, but after a while I learned that they were always just hiding behind the filter. Once the lights turn back on, they would always pop back out and start swimming around.

Mine used to sleep together in the top left side of the tank. Since the male started to host my frogspawn he normaly slides into one of the branches and sleeps there.

My pair stopped hovering together when the male left her for a softer RBTA. So he sleeps in the RBTA, she sleeps on the other side of the tank! Recently the male looks to have gotten stung so he hovers near the RBTA but no longer goes in. It's only been two days so I am hoping he goes back in. Meanwhile the male took her back and they hang together by the RBTA.

My pair sleeps in a branching hammer. Added a LTA last week so I am hoping they will migrate over when I remove the hammer.
