Clowns Twitching

[reef diver]

I have 2 brand new clown in my quarantine. The smaller one will start to twitch when it is near the large one. But the large one twitches too! HELP!

I believe thats how they swim

I've seen my clowns do that too. I think it's just because they're a pair or something like that. But they're fine it's nothing wrong.

They're using body language to establish dominance.

Mine do it all the time..sometimes the female will nudge back but it's almost like the male wants to be closer and is annoying her more than anything.....VERY NORMAL.....

Ok, good to no, but why is the larger twitching as well, just it is, well sort of like this if you can imagine. The small ones twitching i like twi-twi-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-twitch And the larger one is like twit-twit-twit-twitch. LOL

like duh duh duh duh duh to du du....probably like two dogs sniffing each other and feeling each other out...as long as they aren't fighting don't worry about it and also getting used to the water .....they just may be adjusting to new surroundings

Hehe, I too just purchased a mated pair of perc clowns. I laughed when I saw it, it did look odd but somewhat natural. My two clowns play in the powerhead currents, they are pretty cool. Now I just need to kill, I mean get rid of my damsels.......(LFS won't take them back)
