Percula Clown staying in one spot!

[hawkfish203]

I recently got 2 percula clowns and the larger of the 2 seems to stay in one spot. It seems to just be moving up and down. Now i know that the males will sometimes do this to find a mate, but wouldnt the larger of the 2 be the female? Also the smaller one seems to move about the tank now and then, but all ways comes back to the larger one and does the same thing. They both seem to be eating. Should I be concerned??? If it helps I have a powder blue tang and a hawkfish in the tank(they both are doing well).

I wouldnt be too concerned if theyre eating- theyre new to your tank and theyre gonna hang out wherever theyre comfortable and feel secure. I would be more happy than anything that they seem to be a mated pair due to the male not leaving her for long.

wow, I am having deja vu. Anyways...my clown stays in one spot constantly. Right under my powerhead on the right side of the tank. Then when the lights go out, she is under the return pipe. Clownfish are clowns. Weird animals. I am sure your's are fine
