I have had my 55 gal tank set up for about 2 weeks withLR and LS. On Sunday 8-14-05 i added 2 damsels, 1 blue velvet and 1 3 striped damsel. These damsels are always hidding in the LR. Yesterday i bought a clown fish and 2 hermit crabs. My problems is that the clown fish is always at the surface and never goes down to the LR. This morning i found him in the corner. The little bugger eats all the food. Is this normal for a clown fish to just be at the surface?. I checked my parameters last night and every thing is well. Salinity 1.023, PH 8.2, Amonia 0, Nitrate 0, Nitrite 0, Water temp 82. Any ideas?

mine does that all time...i dunno what his deal is...i havent figured that out...he has ample cover dunno why he hangs out at night either.....everyone else has their "spots" he has prolly
15 lbs of LR to discover as well as barnacles, lava rock etc. i dunno my old juvies did that too, i must be missing something, i traded the two juvies for a bigger one(present one) he does the same thing.. any ideas people?
