clown spasms

[gman52]

i just added a ocellaris clown to my 20 gallon reef. he is eating, but he spends most of his time in the bottom right hand corner towards the front hovering in one spot, and every so often he looks like he is having a spasm or something. he swims around the tank every so often, and he looks healthy to me. is that normal

The shaking (spasm) is quite normal for clowns. As long as he's eating and looks good he should be fine.

My tank raised clowns have done that since they were little. They grow out of it somewhat.
I've kept wild caught clowns and they never spasmed. Has anyone else noticed that? For that matter, does anyone have an idea about why they do that?

If the twitching is part of a pair's behavior, they may be in the process of changing ---.
