Clowns Twitching!

My clowns seem great together. They both swing together and stay close, but when then slightly smaller clown gets closer to the other it begins to start twitching diagonally and sometimes kicks up sand at the other. What can this mean? Also when I feed them, the slightly smaller one usually eats most of the food. When the other one attempts to eat something the smaller one takes it from it.
****the slightly smaller one is the one with a darker back****

This is a wonderful sign
the twitching is a show of submission. How long have you had them? Looks like your pair is bonding. Has there been any fighting? If not you can relax and enjoy their antics, they are such fun fish. The larger is female and the twitcher is the male. The stealing food, I would not worry, the female will eventaully take control of the situation.

Well see the thing is that the SMALLER one is the one stealing the food and the slightly LARGER one is the one twitching towards the other.
