Hey there for the past few days my tomato clown has been acting very strange recently. Hes been sleeping completely parallel on his side on the sand bed. When I first saw him in the morning I thought he was dead, but once I turned the lights on he started swimming again (He used to sleep vertically with his head facing the top of the tank). Later on in the day I notice the sand bed towards the front of my tank has been getting somewhat thicker. I look in the back and it turns out my tomato is burrowing in the sand. I observed him for a few minutes and it looks like hes spitting sand out of his mouth. He doesnt look sick at all and the color is still a vibrant dark red. Now today it seems like hes only staying underneath his cave or swimming into the frogspawn as if hes trying to host it.
