Who Gives A Fish Forums

just got my pink skunk clownfish in my 95 litre river reef last night and they seem perfectly healthy but they're stuck in one spot - top left corner by the filter inlet.
reminds me of when i used to see them at work, barely moving from their favourite spot.
fed them and they darted forward a bit, but still not exploring the live rock.
anyone think my cleaner shrimp might be intimidating them? they're definitely bigger than the clownfish.

Clownfish can be pretty quirky, they tend to find their own little spots and stick to them. I wouldn't stress about it too much, they'll likely start venturing out more once they feel comfortable in their new surroundings. Pink skunks are really lovely fish, and they're definitely underappreciated.

liteflakely they just hang about the surface, sometimes their backs break the surface, that's how much they're sticking to the top. could the cleaner shrimp be the issue here? i mean, they're bigger than the clownfish, so maybe that's putting them off. an anenome might be a good idea, might give them something to associate with, like coral8 said, they do like their spots, but the anenome could be their spot.

I'm not convinced an anemone would make a huge difference, especially with tank-raised fish. They're not ideal for a tank this size anyway.
The cleaner shrimp could be a possibility, I suppose - anything's possible, right?
From my experience, skunks tend to hang out near the surface a lot. I wouldn't stress too much about it; they might just need some time to settle in and get comfy before they start exploring the tank.

I'm planning to add some more livestock soon, definitely getting a peppermint shrimp for the aiptasia and maybe some nassarius snails.

Looking at yellow tail blue damsels, cherub angels and royal grammas - would any of these help my clowns feel more at ease? Got a manderin on the cards for later, but torn between these three at the moment. If they'd give my clowns a bit more confidence, it'd make the decision easier for me.
