Recently (maybe the past 3-4 days), my larger (I believe the female) clownfish has been going over to the exact same spot and hovering just barely above the sand. Every now and then she will fan the sand with her tail or put her face in the sand and movie it side to side. I don't see anything in her belly that looks like eggs, etc. In fact, she looks normal but is not acting so. Also, and this is off topic, does anyone know if a flower anemone has more of an open mouth in general than most anemones such as a BTA?

oxygen and calcium are good (forget #'s, but remember they were okay)
0 Amonia
Lights: 5 hours white, 6 hours blue (actinic?) <span style="color: Red;">Despite all of this, I am having an AWFUL problem with THICK red algae building up on my sand bed surface</span>
