I have two false clownfish (the most popular kind) one is larger than the other, I'm assuming he's the male. Since yesterday, he has been hanging out by the top of the heater, and sticking his head out of the water. It's not like he's gulping for air, but it's just weird. There are no signs of sickness other than this. He will only let the other (smaller) clown near him, and all others he chases away. I don't know what's wrong.
We only have 5 fish (1 domino damsel, two blue damsels, and the clowns) there are about 10 snails and a couple crabs, live rock and sand in the tank. We just added some soft coral the other day (before he began acting this way) and the tank is 55 gallons. It has been established for approx. 1.5 months with NO problems other than this. We did have a semi-agressive gramma that we removed yesterday. Please help... my fiance wants to take him out of the tank in fear that he will give something to the others, but I'm afraid he'll die. We have no other tank avail.
