Clownfish Fry Schooling in Corner?

[MTracyRN]

Hello all, I’m new to the clownfish breeding scene and this is my first attempt at raising the fry. This group is on day 18 post hatch and have been moved to a 20g grow out tank since they are no longer on rotifers. Should I be worried that they are all schooling in the corner of the tank close to the surface? 10-15 of them free swim around the tank but the other 50-60 of them are always huddled up in this top corner of the tank. Makes me worry they aren’t eating enough because only some of them look like they’re getting food when it’s added. Is this normal behavior for them? At first I thought maybe it was the light but under no light, lower light, and full light it is all the same response.

I am only guessing here, but hanging out in a corner is very normal for adult clowns, so why wouldn't babies do the same?

I'd go find a corner where I in some strange place and genetically engineered to go swim the open expanse called the ocean

This was my initial thought as I’ve had some clowns do some weird stuff, just wasn’t sure
