I had one doing this for a year until I got it a companion (a smaller one! so it's not a female) and she started behaving very differently.

Clownfish usually behave very differently and more normally when in couple. Mine host 2 sebae anemone and a duncan coral. They never go far away from their anemone and each one has its own anemone to sleep in at night. So cute to watch.

It is a normal behavior for a clownfish to be with a companion and to live in an anemone.

Salinity: 1.025
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0ppm
PH: 8.2

What is his issue? Some things I read on the internet says its normal behaviour. He eats like a fat pig, but doesnt leave the corner too often... He is a tank raised ocellaris...
