Why...in the name of all that is holy

would a fish not like water current? It isnt noise, because it is a smaller powerhead. But as soon as I turn the powerhead on, the fish DARTS back into the caves. Without it on, the thing will swim all over the tank.

your power head may be releasing stray electricity into the tank. You should test it or try a different powerhead plugged into a different outlet.

Not that you knew because I did not mention it, but the clownfish dont care about the powerhead, it is a brand new powerhead and I have a grounding probe. So I dont think it would be that. The clownfish are already hosting the thing for some odd reason.

ok i thought you ment that all your fish dart.
this one particular fish is probably afraid of the noise the pump makes when it is turned on
