i have a small and a bit bigger fals perc clown in my 55 theyve been in there for alittle over 2 weeks and they were both swimming around fine and everything but now the smaller one seems to be hiding in the corners alot up by the powerhead and heaters could it just be trying to get away from the larger one even though i havent seen any aggresion between the two or is it a precurser to that it maybe getting sick

I would try to look for any harrassment that might be going on, but, the really, this is not unusal behavior for the clownfish, especially when they sleep or are resting.
If the fish won't come out to eat, or the respiration is abnormal, then you might have a problem.

Don't be shocked if you see him head face down or snout facing up at the top of the tank behind the powerhead. Clowns are goofy.
Maybe that is why they are called clownfish?
