Very normal clownfish behavior...

It's a "show" behavior, but usually associated with a "submissive" tone, as in towards a more dominant clown. What else is in the tank? He could be putting on a "dominant" show to ward others off from his anemone which he protects.

With clowns, the female is always the one that wears the pants (dominant) and the male is submissive. Thank God this is only in clownfish world
