Hi, am new to saltwater reefing and noticed this morning that my clown fish is stuck in one corner and he’s not feeding either. I will post a video . But I notice his colouration has changed n he’s skin isn’t as clean as usual. No signs of aggression from other fish. Been in tank for about 2 months now

The video isn’t working so theres no way to tell until then but does he have any symptoms like, heavy breathing, pinched stomach, clamped fins or cloudy eyes?

Just from what you said it could be velvet but there’s a bunch of things it could be.

Let me try reposting the video again. Seems like velvet to me. I do have some flukesolve and plazipora in case . He’s not rubbing against the substrate to suggest flukes

The fish looks stressed and I would guess aggression. A fish sitting in one spot pacing like that and not moving away from the corner, its usually aggression.
