Clown help

[chrisareston]

Ok so I have had my 4 perc clowns for almost a uear now! I have 4... Two stay together and the other two stay together! 2 are huge and the other two hardly grew! They all get along good! Until the other day i noticed that one of the small ones hides in this cave behind my rocks and hardly comes out at all! When he does come out the other three nip and chase him back into the cave! Once in a while ill see his friend go into the cave with him! He is also a faded white orange now instead of the bright orange he use to be! What could be going on?
Thanks

what type of clowns?

I will assume that they are percs or false percs is that correct? The only thing that I can think of is maybe the lighter clown fish is sick or two of the others have become a mated pair and they will pick on that fish till it is dead and then work on the other one. HTH

Better put it in the different tank or you will lose it soon.
