Do you have an anemone in your tank?
Mine used to do so until they got settled in Sarcophyton spp.

We left the tank at 5pm yesterday, fed the fish immediately before
leaving, got back at 7pm today (26 hours later), essentially having
skipped a feed (normally feed twice er day). Lights were on timer.

Fish all looked normal, fed them, then one of the clowns started
rushing around the tank madly (not seen this before). The other clown
started following. Other fish behaving normally, inverts all look OK.
Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate all zero. SG had drifted up a bit to 1.022.

Clowns still rushing 2.5 hours later (though slowed a bit).

Ideas?

Introduced a green bubble anemone a few days ago (after the rushing
around problem) and the clowns love it.

Only problem is that the anemone is exhibiting some strange light
related behaviour (see separate posting)
